"Ottawa is preparing to deploy the Canadian Disaster Assessment Team, a joint group of experts from National Defence and Global Affairs Canada, to the Caribbean as early as Monday."
. 
"As early as Monday?" It hit the Caribbean last week.
The plan seems to have been to stay there and hope for the goodwill of Americans, the Dutch, French and others to help you.
Despite every single article here about Harvey and Irma writing about America was not prepared, in the end it was Canada that was not prepared.
No other country on earth could have dealt with 2 record setting catastrophes the was America has.
