Summary of Event: 
Yves Engler, Montreal author and activist, will discuss his new book, "Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid."

Canada and Israel: Building Apartheid is the first critical primer about Canada's ties to Israel. It is a devastating account of Canadian complicity in 20th and 21st century colonialism, dispossession and war crimes.

"Our foreign policy towards Israel flouts both the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and international law," said Engler, author of The Black Book of Canadian Foreign Policy, which was nominated for the 2009 Mavis Gallant Award for non-fiction. "Canadians of good conscience need to, first, understand and then act to change what is being done in our name."
