A talk with Yves Engler
When: Thursday October 1st, 7 pm

Geopolitical concerns have always been the primary motivators for disbursing Canadian aid. The government may call it foreign aid, but a central aim of the Canadian International Development Agency is to help Canadian companies expand abroad both directly and indirectly.
How do government funded NGOs deal with the intervention-equals-aid principle? Are some major Western non-governmental organizations really just an arm of imperialism? Are development NGOs compatible with real democracy? Come out to hear Yves Engler debunk the mythology of Canadian aid as sheer benevolence.
Copies of Yves' new book, The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy, will be available for purchase.
“Yves Engler’s penetrating inquiry yields a rich trove of valuable evidence about Canada’s role in the world.”
—Noam Chomsky
