Propaganda System: How Canada S Government, Corporations, Media and Academia Sell War
Propaganda System: How Canada S Government, Corporations, Media and Academia Sell War | Yves Engler
1 post
The latest book from renowned author Yves Engler reveals why most Canadians believe their country is a force for good in the world, despite a long history of supporting empire, racism and exploitation. In A Propaganda System, Engler details the vast sums Global Affairs Canada, Veterans Affairs and the Department of National Defence spend on promoting a one-sided version of Canada s foreign policy, which ignores the unsavoury history. Engler traces the history of the Canadian government s information control during wartime and peacetime, which includes outright censorship and extreme media bias on topics such as Haiti, Palestine and the mining industry. In addition, Engler details how the corporate elite advance their agenda by funding university programs and think tanks. "

Yves Engler was a guest speaker in my political science course yesterday, which was an excellent fit as we are on the topic of globalization. He goes where mainstream media won't go and his end goal isn't to overthrow the Canadian government with books (which separates him from most political criticizing authors). He knows the key is to educate and I've never felt more knowledgeable about my own country since his talk. #canadianauthors
