Canadian activist and author of 12 books Yves Engler unravels the intricate web of Canadian imperialism and its complicity in the ongoing atrocities against the Palestinian people in an upcoming public event in Courtenay.

Engler will delve into the heart of his latest book, Canada鈥檚 Long Fight Against Democracy, examining his views on Canada鈥檚 history of backing coups and undermining democratically elected governments worldwide.

Engler鈥檚 appearance will take place on Sunday evening June 9 from 6:45 鈥� 8:45 p.m. in the Tsolum Building, in Courtenay鈥檚 Lewis Park. Admission is by donation. Copies of Engler鈥檚 latest book will be available for purchase and signing. Masks are recommended

Drawing from his extensive research and activist experience, Engler will also unveil the disturbing connections detailed in his groundbreaking work, Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid, in which he unveils what he claims to be Canada鈥檚 deep involvement in 20th and 21st-century colonialism, dispossession, and war crimes, particularly in its support for Israeli policies against the Palestinians.

Born to left-wing parents deeply entrenched in progressive movements, Engler brings a unique perspective to the forefront of activism. His relentless pursuit of truth has earned him praise as 鈥渙ne of the most important voices on the Canadian left.鈥�
