Yves Engler: House of Mirrors (Paperback, 2020, Black Rose Books) 4 stars

Nothing changed

4 stars

I was aware that Trudeau's Liberals had done precious little to improve on the dismal environmental performance of the Harper government, but Engler's book covers the many other ways that the Liberals created the illusion of being more progressive, while largely continuing (or, in some cases, worsening) Canada's foreign policy. The same underlying principle -- support authoritarian governments as long as they represent Canadian/US interests, and especially support the mining sector -- was just given a more appealing face.
