There's a new Handbook of Latin American Politics just published by @ElgarPublishing, featuring 73 chapters. I had the pleasure of contributing the chapter, "Guatemala: Precarious Democracy and the Menace of Impunity."

The video was filmed on **June 8, 2026** (very recently).
It shows NDP MP **Charlie Angus** speaking in a parliamentary setting (CPAC coverage), calling on the newly appointed Foreign Influence Transparency Commissioner **Anton Boegman** to investigate alleged US interference in the Alberta separatist movement. He references statements from US Ambassador Pete Hoekstra about Canada’s sovereignty in trade negotiations “this past week.”
The original post frames it as Ottawa “launching” investigations — it’s actually Angus *calling for* one.

Przeworski is just another highly ethnocentric American political scientist unable to accept the VDem stats that show USA is failing badly as a democracy, and that US pluralist theory is completely falsified. The USA even has no worthwhile rule of law now.
Very happy that the article I wrote with @StephanieCarvin on the evolution of Canada's National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (successes, inevitable challenges, unforced errors) is now out in open access with Intelligence and National Security:
