We will shortly be inundated with praise for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) by the Canadian government and mainstream media on the occasion of its 70th anniversary on April 4, 2019. But, because of Canada's membership in NATO, we have been dragged into virtually every US war from Yugoslavia to Libya, are in the thick of the US regime change operation in Venezuela, and are part of the problem - and not the solution - to the growing danger of Cold War 2.0 with both Russia and China.

Tamara Lorincz will speak in Hamilton in a free public lecture on ALL aspects of Canada's lack of independence on foreign, fiscal, and environmental policy resulting from our country's membership in NATO.

Tamara Lorincz is a PhD candidate in Global Governance at the Balsillie School for International Affairs (Wilfrid Laurier University).
