Join the Toronto Association for Peace and Solidarity on September 19th at the Shevchenko Museum, 1604 BLOOR ST W, at 7pm for a book talk with Owen Schalk for his new book: Canada & NATO: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper.
RSVP here:
As military spending in Canada skyrockets due to NATO’s arbitrary new commitment that member states spend a staggering 5 percent of their GDP in military expenditures, Schalk’s new book is an urgent and timely read for all peace activists and all those concerned about Canada’s involvement in the drive towards war.
By mapping decades of Canada’s role in global militarization, a position that has led to death, destruction, and destabilization around the world, Canada and NATO: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper carefully pulls apart longstanding myths and misconceptions regarding Canada’s role in world conflicts, and disrupts the popular perception of NATO in the West: that the alliance is a defensive security organization rather than an offensive organization led by the capitalist interests of the U.S. and its allies.
Canada & NATO: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper ($25) and refreshments will be available at the event.
