My new book House of Mirrors \u2014 Justin Trudeau\u2019s Foreign Policy will be out in March. If you\u2019re interested in helping to set up an event PM or email me (yvesengler@hotmail.com).<\/p>\n
Justin Trudeau presents himself as \u201cprogressive\u201d on foreign affairs and to have brought Canada \u201cback\u201d after the disastrous Stephen Harper Conservative government. House of Mirrors \u2014 Justin Trudeau\u2019s Foreign Policy demonstrates the opposite is true.
\nIn his latest book Yves Engler outlines how Trudeau\u2019s government has expanded the military while ignoring international efforts to restrict nuclear weapons proliferation.<\/p>\n
In the Western Hemisphere the Liberals have launched an unprecedented, multipronged, effort to overthrow Venezuela\u2019s government while siding with an assortment of reactionary governments. They continued to enable Israeli violence against Palestinians, cozied up to repressive Middle East monarchies and emboldened far-right militarists in Ukraine. Flouting their climate commitments, the Trudeau government also failed to follow through on its promise to rein in Canada\u2019s controversial international mining sector.<\/p>\n
\nThe Liberals have tried to sell their pro corporate\/empire policies with progressive slogans. As they violated international law and spurned efforts to overcome pressing global issues, the Liberals crowed about the \u201cinternational rules-based order\u201d. Notwithstanding the rhetoric, the House of Mirrors shows that Trudeau largely continued Harper\u2019s foreign policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
