36 - The Oakville Beaver, Friday October 26, 2007 www.oakvillebeaver.com Anniversary Sale Event McQuaig discusses new book Nov. 13 31 ST "1976 - 2007" OFF ALL WINDOWS Best Custom Doors 31% + 31% We're proud to be your #1 choice for Windows & Doors Best Custom Windows Award-winning journalist and best selling author Linda McQuaig will talk about her latest book, Holding the Bully's Coat: Canada and the U.S. Empire, on Tuesday, Nov. 13 at St. John's United Church. The talk will begin at 7:30 p.m. in Lusk Hall at the local church. The author's speech is organized by the Oakville Community Centre for Peace, Ecology and Human Rights. McQuaig argues in her book that as "the United States has become a belligerent and lawless force under George W. Bush, the Canadian government has followed in close step." She continues, "This new role has been actively encouraged by powerful members of our elite who want to incorporate us more deeply into America's military and economic empire. All this is at odds, however, with the sense Canadians have of themselves ­ as committed to the rule of law and to promoting equality and fairness, both at home and abroad." Tickets cost $10 at the door or in advance at Bookers, 172 Lakeshore Rd. E. McQuaig will sign copies of her book after her presentation.
