I think I am going to get this book. This review makes me think this work is along the same lines as much of Noam Chomsky’s work.

While one of the few pillars of Canadian national identity is our perceived role as both a peacekeeper and peacemaker around the world, it’s Canada’s darker side local author and activist Yves Engler scrutinizes in The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy, a thick account of the country’s foreign policy record – one that seriously challenges the perception of Canada as a force for good in the world.
“Canadians often seem more interested in what the U.S. is doing internationally rather than our own government,” explains Yves Engler. “This book is an honest analysis of what our government is doing around the world and unpacks the mythology that Canadian businesses and politicians act benevolently outside of Canada.”
In fact, Engler’s book is a reality check about Canada’s role on the world stage and a shockingly dirty laundry list of our colonial ambitions and corporate marauding.
