Status Updates From Canada's Long Fight Against...

In all the coups documented in this book, Ottawa worked in tandem with the U.S. government. However, that does not mean Ottawa was coerced into supporting these anti-democratic forces...In short, Canada's ruling class views the world much like their U.S. counterparts do and profits from global exploitation in a similar way.

Rarely do coups begin the day the leader or government is overthrown, and there are generally many opportunities to stop them.

"While endorsing Western interference in left-leaning countries like the Congo, Dominican Republic, Brazil, and Ghana, Ottawa argued that supporting anti-fascist forces in Greece amounted to interference in a friendly country."
