Yves Engler is a Canadian writer who you won't run across in the pages of the Globe or the Star very often. He's got an essay on view at Counterpunch today, imploring Canada to leave the Lima Group, Core Group, and the Organization of American States.
Engler's toxicity is due to his insistence on calling Canadian "diplomacy" out for what it is; servile toadying to US machinations. That, and not any concerns for "democracy" or "rule of law" or human rights, is what animates Canada's policies vis-a-vis Latin America and the Caribbean.
So if Yves ever succeeds in fanning the embers of our discontent into a genuine public discussion of Canada's priorities, let's make sure our NATO membership is on the table too.
