Vanessa Beeley’s Canadian Speaking Tour
Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/events/2723846821044437/
Internationally-acclaimed independent journalist, Vanessa Beeley, will tour Central Canada lecturing on the theme: “Canada’s Dirty War Against Syria, the White Helmets and the Regime-Change-War Billionaires.”
About Canada’s role in the war on Syria
Two successive governments of Canada, those of Stephen Harper and Justin Trudeau, have been an integral part of the US coalition for regime change and economic sanctions against Syria since 2011. The Trudeau government has donated at least $4.5 million to White Helmets since 2016 and has resettled about 250 White Helmets members and their families in Canada.
