 TIME.com: The New Reality: Nationalism -- Dec. 16, 1974 -- Page 1
This chilling statement, attributed to the President of the U.S. in 1980, who is retaliating against Canada's refusal to surrender vast quantities of natural gas to the U.S., is the beginning of a 1973 Canadian bestseller entitled Ultimatum.
Yet the best-selling Rohmer novels are bizarrely representative of one aspect of the current Canadian mood: a rising nationalism and its inevitable corollary, a growing anti-Americanism.
The Toronto Star published a story last September alleging that the U.S. had actually massed tanks and heavy artillery at the border in preparation for an invasion during the terrorist kidnapings and crisis in Quebec in October 1970.

 Lord Black's Bleak Outlook - Forbes.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-15)
If Black tries to force the Hollinger International board to hand over the cash, he risks violating a consent agreement with the SEC and putting the company under the control of former SEC chief Richard Breeden, who as head of the investigative committee is already giving him fits.
It's quite a comedown from a couple of years ago, when Black said in an e-mail to an associate that he wondered whether the corporate jet (one of two the corporation maintained for his use) was "really affordable." "But I'm not prepared to reenact the French Revolutionary renunciation of the rights of nobility," he added.
The deal isn't substantially different from the one Judge Strine nixed earlier this year, under which the Barclays would have paid Black the equivalent of $18 a share for his controlling stake in Hollinger International.
