Canadians flee Haiti as death toll nears 200,000: "PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — The Canadian embassy was continuing evacuations from Haiti on Saturday, as the West Indies island grappled a death toll some estimates were placing as high as 200,000 people, following a 7.0-magnitude earthquake earlier this week.
A total of 225 Canadians, including many young children, had been preparing to sleep on chairs, blankets, the grass and a tennis court Friday night when the surprise announcement came that a flight was leaving overnight to take them home."
