In popular culture, Canada is seen as the nicer version of the US, the harmless northern neighbor. Behind that shiny exterior is a country that plays a crucial supporting role in US aggression abroad and providing it with a layer of liberal respectability. Canada remains the “good cop” to the US “bad cop” in wars and coups from the Middle East to Latin America. This is no great departure for a country founded as a European settler colony that continues to commit atrocities against the indigenous communities.
To discuss Canada’s role in the US-led imperial order, Rania Khalek was joined by Justin Podur, a Professor at York University in Toronto, author of many books including “Extraordinary Threat,” “Haiti's New Dictatorship,” “America's Wars on Democracy in Rwanda and the DR Congo,” and “Siegebreakers” and host of the Anti-Empire Project podcast.
