The Foreign Minister of a country of 30 million that has had diplomatic
relations with Canada for seven decades will present on Ottawa's efforts to
overthrow his government in a talk entitled "Canadian Interference in
Venezuela."



Nearly two years ago, the Trudeau government threw their wholehearted
support behind a US-backed plan to declare an opposition politician, Juan
Guaidó, “Interim President” of Venezuela.



Since then, the Trump administration has orchestrated numerous coup
attempts and appealed for an army mutiny against Nicolás Maduro. It has
also adopted extreme unilateral coercive economic measures against the
country. The Canadian government has sanctioned Venezuelan officials and
built up an oppositional International coalition.



Trump and Trudeau’s sanctions and efforts to stoke a revolt are having an
ever-greater impact on ordinary Venezuelan's livelihood and ability to feed
themselves. At the same time, Guaidó’s chances of taking power are slimmer
today than at any point since he claimed the presidency. Still, Trudeau
supports Washington’s regime change efforts.



Is there a limit to what the Liberals will support?



Join an online forum with Foreign Minister Jorge Arreaza direct from
Caracas to discuss these matters and hear the Venezuelan government's side
of the story.
