Stephen Harper's foreign policy documents the sordid story of the
Canadian government's sabotage of international environmental efforts, a
government totally committed to tar sands producers and a mining
industry widely criticized for abuses. Furthermore, this sweeping
critique details Harper's opposition to the "Arab Spring" democracy
movement and his backing of repressive Middle East monarchies, as well
as his support for a military coup in Honduras and indifference to
suffering of Haitians following the earthquake that devastated their
country. The book explores Canada's extensive military campaign in
Libya, opposition to social transformation in Latin America and support
for a right-wing Israeli government. With an eye to Canada's growing
international isolation, The Ugly Canadian is a must read for those who
would like to see Canada adopt a more just foreign policy.
Praise for the book...
