Canadian-American Relations, Economic The Canadian general election of that year was fought largely on the free-trade issue, and Laurier's defeat was partly a result of fears that free trade was the first step to political annexation. Historically, Canadians opposed to complete free trade have argued that it would entail the eventual loss of political SOVEREIGNTY, lead to greater integration in economic and industrial policy, and further constrain Canada's ability to adopt independent economic policies. Canadian unions, which burgeoned during this period, were closely affiliated with their US counterparts. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com /index.cfm?PgNm=TCE&Params=A1ARTA0001258

Canadian-American Relations The WAR OF 1812 was fought defensively by the British and halfheartedly by the Americans. Canadian defence plans were altered as planners dismissed the possibility of conflict. By 1965, however, relations had deteriorated significantly as PM Lester PEARSON and Canadians found it difficult to give the US the support it demanded during the Vietnam War. www.thecanadianencyclopedia.com /PrinterFriendly.cfm?Params=A1ARTA0001257

Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Canadian American Reciprocity Treaty was a trade treaty between the colonies of British North America and the United States. In 1911, a free trade agreement between Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals and the Americans was rejected by the electorate in the 1911 election. The treaty was ended by the Americans in 1866 because they felt that Canada was the only nation benefiting from it, and because they objected to the protective Cayley-Galt Tariff imposed by the Province of Canada on manufactured goods. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Canadian-American_Reciprocity_Treaty   (587 words)

Niagara Falls Reporter Canadians are less inclined to believe the information that comes from the Washington Beltway and the American media, less inclined to insist that their government join America in every military adventure. Canadians find more and more of their news on the BBC or the European news services, and what they see is a world totally different from the one portrayed south of the border. Canadians opened their homes to every passenger who was stranded in Canada due to the events of Sept. 11. www.niagarafallsreporter.com /trautman.html   (587 words)

Guardian Unlimited The Guardian Matthew Engel: Is Canada one of the US's fiercest opponents? "Canadians are proud of the fact that, unlike the Americans, they have the CBC [the equivalent of the BBC], health care, ice hockey, and a peace-keeping military," says Chris Sands. She said it to a Canadian journalist, in a manner that suggested she was saying something that was obvious, rather than something that could cause any embarrassment. Canadian patriotism is notoriously hard to pin down, because it rests on a negative: not being the US. www.guardian.co.uk /g2/story/0,3604,860663,00.html   (587 words)

Royal Union Flag The Canadian response was divided between the increasing enthusiasm of English Canadians for the imperial cause, and the abhorrence of French Canadians for the imperial aggression against the Afrikaners. Between Confederation and 1965, Canadians used either the Union Flag, or one of the various versions of the Canadian Red Ensign as pretenders to the national flag. Articles written in the Canadian Almanac in the 1890s refer to the Canadian Red Ensign as "the flag of our country" and speak of its extensive public and private use, but offer not so much as a mention of any use of the plain Union Flag outside of military circles. fraser.cc /FlagsCan/Nation/Union.html   (587 words)

American/Canadian relations, post September 11th: accomodation or surrender? Americans and Canadians refer to the 6,440-kilometre border between their two countries as the world's largest undefended border with pride. In Canada the American emphasis on individualism is seen as Americans defending their right to carry a gun, but does not define a role for government in supporting the disenfranchised members of their society. Canadian values in health, education, employment, immigration, and the uniquely Canadian attribute of "multi-culturalism" include a definitive role for government. www.infolynk.ca /health_care/relationspost9_11.html   (587 words)

Border Diplomacy: The Caroline and McLeod Affairs in Anglo-American-Canadian Relations, 1837--1842. by Colin Read His book is valuable, not as a monograph on Canadian history, but as a work on British-American relations which sheds light on the American political scene, on the diplomacy between the two powers, and on the climate of outraged honour which might have produced a war. The Canadian forces which in December 1837 rousted out the crew of the Caroline, killed one of her passengers, and set the little vessel on fire before casting her adrift in the racing waters above Niagara Falls outraged American opinion and caused a near conflagration. Legislation passed in Washington providing that in cases affecting international relations federal courts would have jurisdiction formed part of the settlement as the United States recognized ''the principle of international law that nations must maintain a representative authority for other nations to deal with' (163).Stevens's complex story has heroes and villains. www.utpjournals.com /product/chr/714/diplomacy7.html   (587 words)

Reciprocity (Canadian politics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Reciprocity and free trade have been emotional issues in Canadian history, as they pitted two conflicting impulses, the desire for beneficial economic ties with the United States against the fear that closer economic ties would lead to American domination and annexation. In 19th century Canadian politics, reciprocity was the term used to describe the concept of free trade with the United States of America. When reciprocity came up again in 1896, it was the Americans who proposed it to Laurier's Liberals. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Reciprocity_(Canadian_politics)   (583 words)

Canadian-American Reciprocity Treaty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Free trade between the two nations did not again come into being until the 1988 Canadian-American Free Trade Agreement, brought in by Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservatives. In 1911, a free trade agreement between Wilfrid Laurier's Liberals and the Americans was rejected by the electorate in the 1911 election. The treaty was ended by the Americans in 1866 because they felt that Canada was the only nation benefiting from it, and because they objected to the protective Cayley-Galt Tariff imposed by the Province of Canada on manufactured goods. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Canadian-American_Reciprocity_Treaty   (583 words)

Canadian Theatre Encyclopedia The Encyclopedia of Canadian Theatre web site was originally conceived and developed in 1996 by Gaetan Charlebois—theatre critic, playwright, and actor. Though very slow, we are also seeing the integration of multicultural voices into the mainstream theatres beyond companies like Passe Muraille (which regularly mounts works from outside the white mainstream). But it also points to the fact that there are few doing too little to reflect the communities in which we live. www.canadiantheatre.com /dict.pl?term=Ethnic%20Theatre   (583 words)

Inter-American Studies: On-Line Bibliography Comparing American literature to Canadian, Atwood also declares that if the Frontier is the central motif of the literature of the United States, then “the central symbol for Canada,” in both English and French Canadian literature, “is undoubtedly Survival, la Survivance” (32). The eminent Canadian critic argues here in favor of what is often termed “postmodern” fiction, praising it for its language consciousness and for its (in the author’s opinion) successful displacement of “realistic” fiction. Coleman offers here a brief but useful summary of the reception of Latin American literature in the United States during the 1960s, the period of the “Boom” and of the emergence of Latin American literature on the world stage. www.uiowa.edu /~uipress/interamerican/current+i2.html   (583 words)

Maple leaf masquerade - The Washington Times: Nation/Politics - December 08, 2004 American travelers have been disguising themselves as Canadians for 30 years," said one expert in Canadian-American relations at the University at Buffalo, part of the State University of New York. Her husband, Bill, who created the Canadian kit after hearing tales of Americans harassed overseas, said 70 percent of the buyers are Republicans who had a Democratic recipient in mind. There are those who insist that smart American travelers should stow their Yankee identity and simply pretend they're Canadians to ensure safe passage overseas. www.washtimes.com /national/20041208-122554-8534r.htm   (583 words)

Canadian Studies: A Guide to the Sources The first undergraduate Canadian Studies programme was established at Mount Allison University in 1969 with an endowment from Edgar and Dorothy Davidson of Montreal; the first director was George F.G. Stanley (1907-2002), a distinguished historian and author, and designer of the country's maple leaf flag. However, these forces are also serving to keep Canadian Studies a vibrant discipline, both at home and abroad, and are providing Canadian writers, artists, academics, journalists, and foreign observers with abundant opportunities for discourse on the evolving nature of this still enigmatic northern land. Anita Cannon's Canadian Government Information on the Internet is a comprehensive gateway to federal, provincial, territorial and municipal government Web sites, while Iza Laponce's Canadian Politics on the Internet and Bibliography of Canadian Politics and Society provide invaluable access to a wide spectrum of electronic and print sources in the field. www.iccs-ciec.ca /blackwell.html   (583 words)

St. Lawrence University: Canadian Studies To minor in Canadian studies, a student is required to take Canadian Studies 101 and 201 and three courses on Canada from those offered by the several academic departments. The Canadian studies program seeks to combine the advantages of St. Lawrence's proximity to Canadian political, cultural, economic and academic centers with the University's traditional commitment to high-quality teaching of undergraduates in the liberal arts. For example, a student pursuing a combined major in history and Canadian studies should select at least one Canadian history course, thereby meeting a major requirement in both history and Canadian studies and, in the process, reducing the number of electives needed for the combined major. web.stlawu.edu /programs/canadian_studies.html   (583 words)

Environmental History: Shaping the Upper Canadian Frontier: Environment, Society, and Culture in the Trent Valley/ Parallel Destinies: Canadian-American Relations West of the Rockies Donald Worster, in his always erudite, sparkling prose, writes a meditation on different Canadian and American approaches to the environment, which result in divergent policies, with the Americans seeming to be more committed to wilderness preservation, and the Canadians undertaking a more muted effort to try to achieve sustainability, or stewardship within their society. The increase in Canadian environmental history writing will contribute to a better understanding of the similarities and differences between the two North American peoples and their relationships to the changing environment on the continent. Canada has a different climate, topography, and history than the United States, and while American historiography is drawn on to analyze some themes in Canadian environmental history where there are parallels, new issues are emerging that are unique to each country. www.findarticles.com /p/articles/mi_qa3854/is_200401/ai_n9393945   (583 words)

American Hockey League - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The league can trace its history back to 1926 with the formation of the Canadian-American Hockey League.

Canadian and American economics compared - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Canadian banks are far freer to participate in the financial planning and insurance industries than their American counterparts. Another advantage is that the Canadian health care system is also very attractive to employers, as in Canada health care is mostly paid through income taxes, while in the United States most companies have to extend health benefits to full-time employees, something they do not have to do in Canada. Canadian GDP per capita is lower than that in the United States, but median income is very similar in the two countries. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Canadian_and_American_economics_compared   (583 words)

Reciprocity Treaty, 1911 Likewise, American direct investment of $254 million in 1909 in the Canadian economy, especially in the manufacturing sector, was more than double that of the British investors who continued to have indirect investments in Canada. The opponents of reciprocity, led by businessmen in Central Canada and the Conservative Party, argued that the choice was one between Canadian nationalism with its strong British connections, and the continentalization of North America, with the United States as the dominant centre. American protectionists and annexationists believed that the loss of the treaty would cause severe economic turmoil in the British colonies and thus force them to join the United States. www.mta.ca /faculty/arts/canadian_studies/english/about/study_guide/debates/reciprocity.html   (583 words)
