By Yves Engler; Owen Schalk In Books and Featured Books Tagged In Canada, Chile, Congo, Coup d'État, Greece, Guatemala, Haiti, Imperialism, Iran, Palestine, Ukraine, and Venezuela. Canada’s Long Fight Against Democracy Published Date: February 1, 2024 Pin It Tweet Send to friend Send inquiry Description Pre-order now; available February 2024 Canada’s Long Fight against Democracy is a sweeping overview of Canadian-backed coups since 1950. It documents Canada’s contribution to the ouster of over 20 elected governments from Mohammad Mossadegh in Iran to Patrice Lumumba in Congo, Salvador Allende in Chile and Jean Bertrand Aristide in Haiti. As part of subverting democracy, Ottawa has cut off aid and imposed illegal sanctions in the hopes of turning the population against the targeted government. Canada has also financed opposition civil society groups and allowed protesters to use its embassy as a staging point to topple a president. They’ve even organized a secret international gathering to discuss overthrowing a popular leader, decided a marginal opposition politician was the legitimate president, and dispatched the Canadian military to subvert democracy. While government officials and the media regularly frame conflicts with geopolitical competitors as motivated by a belief in democracy, the authors debunk the notion that decision-makers in Ottawa are driven by promoting democracy abroad. Washington’s role in subverting elected governments has been detailed in countless studies by scholars and observers from around the world. The literature on Canada’s role in anti-democratic meddling is comparatively limited. In fact, this is the first book to focus on Canada’s role in subverting democracy around the globe. Yves Engler is a political activist and author of twelve books. He has been dubbed as “one of the most important voices on the Canadian Left.?? The Globe and Mail has situated him in the mould of I.F. Stone, while Quill & Quire says Engler is “part of that rare but growing group of social critics unafraid to confront Canada’s self-satisfied myths.?? Yves Engler lives in Montreal. Owen Schalk is a writer from Manitoba. He is the author of Canada in Afghanistan: A Story of Military, Diplomatic, Political, and Media Failure, 2003-2023 (Lorimer Books, 2023). His articles have been published by Alborada, Monthly Review, and Protean Magazine, and he contributes a weekly column to Canadian Dimension magazine. He also writes fiction, and you can read his short stories in Quagmire Literary Magazine, Sobotka Literary Magazine, Vast Chasm Magazine, and more.
