Admission by donation. Books will be available for sale.

Written in the form of a submission to an imagined 'Truth and
Reconciliation' commission about Canada�s foreign policy past, Lester
Pearson's Peacekeeping: The Truth May Hurt will change how you think about
this country's most famous statesman. This book challenges one of the most
important (and useful) Canadian foreign policy myths.

Yves Engler has been dubbed "one of the most important voices on the
Canadian Left today" (Briarpatch). In addition to six published books,
many of Engler's writings have appeared in the alternative press, as well
as mainstream publications such as The Globe and Mail, Toronto Star,
Ottawa Citizen and Ecologist. His six books have been praised by Naomi
Klein, Noam Chomsky, William Blum, Rick Salutin and many others.

Yves Engler's book is bound to provoke a lively discussion because Engler
arrives at the startling conclusion that "Stephen Harper's foreign policy
resembles that of Pearson more than any Liberal would ever admit."
