Product Description
Review
The thoughtful, wide-ranging collection of essays. . .is a welcome reminder that police behaviour at APEC ’97 poses fundamental questions that go far beyond the mere matter of who got pepper-sprayed and why. They strike at the heart of our democratic form of government and respect for human rights... Pepper in Our Eyes is a valuable addition to the APEC debate.

– Ian Hunter, National Post (17 August 2000)
This provocative and compelling book blows the lid off Canada’s sorry track record in government and police abuses of power.
– Jim McNulty, The Province
