The Ugly Canadian: Stephen Harper''s Foreign Policy

Stephen Harpers foreign policy documents the sordid story of the Canadian governments 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 Harpers 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 Canadas extensive military campaign in Libya, opposition to social transformation in Latin America and support for a right-wing Israeli government. With an eye to Canadas growing international isolation, The Ugly Canadian is a must read for those who would like to see Canada adopt a more just foreign policy.
