Yves Engler will discuss his new book, Canada's Long Fight Against Democracy. It is an important overview of Canadian-backed coups since 1950 from Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran to Patrice Lumumba in Congo, Salvador Allende in Chile and Jean Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. While Canadian officials and the mainstream media regularly frame conflicts with geopolitical competitors as motivated by a belief in “democracy,” Yves debunks the notion and reveals the corporate and military interests that drive Canadian foreign policy.
BIO: Yves is a well-known author, analyst and fellow with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute. He’s been dubbed “Canada’s version of Noam Chomsky” (Georgia Straight). Yves has published twelve books including “Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy”, “Building Apartheid: Canada and Israel”, and “Stand on Guard for Whom? A People’s History of the Canadian Military”. His latest book is “Canada's Long Fight Against Democracy” co-authored with Owen Schalk. Yves also hosts the weekly podcast “The Canadian Foreign Policy Hour” (yvesengler.com).
This free, public event will be moderated by Tamara Lorincz, PhD candidate in Global Governance at the Balsillie School of International Affairs at Wilfrid Laurier University and a fellow with the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute.
There will also be a draw for a free copy of Yves’ book and copies for sale.
Books are also available for sale at Wordsworth Books on King St. in Waterloo.
The event has been organized with the financial support of the Laurier Student Public Interest Research Group (LSPIRG) and endorsed by the Canadian Voice of Women for Peace (VOW), the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom Canada (WILPF), and the Canadian Foreign Policy Institute.
