'Empire's Apprentice: Canada in Latin America'

                                                     

I haven't been this excited about an issue of NACLA since the January/February 2007 edition, 'In the Name of Democracy*: US Intervention in the Americas Today.' Then, as now, if you want the full text**, you'll just have to go out and purchase a copy (or, read a copy at your local library), which I strongly encourage. 

*'In the Name of Democracy': a since-defunct research collective that was committed to monitoring global political intervention (of which I was a proud member), organized a conference at Yale University in 2006, panelists from which provided material for the subsequent NACLA Special Issue). INADEM's website is archived at web.archive.org.

**So far, the following articles are available in the current issue:

- 'Empire’s Apprentice: Canada in Latin America'

- 'Against the Odds: Fighting Canada’s Free Trade Deal With Colombia,' including 'A Time Line of the Canadian Anti–Colombia FTA Campaign' (unfortunately, the Liberal-Conservative foreign policy coalition passed in the House of Commons on Monday)

- Also included in the issue is Kim Ives' piece, 'Haiti Reconstruction: Factories, not Fields'
