Yves Engler discusses his two most recent articles, about the SNC Lavalin scandal, and Canada's interference in Venezuela.

It protects corrupt corporations, and destabilizes foreign governments that practice resource nationalism. A Global South government that is responsive to popular needs invites overthrow by Canada's rules-debased foreign policy.
