Canada-France relations - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia De Gaulle's resignation in 1969, and more importantly the 1970 election of the Liberals in Quebec under Robert Bourassa gave impetus to the calls on both sides for normalization of France-Canada relations. Modern Canada-France relations have been marked by high levels of military and economic cooperation, but also periods of diplomatic discord primarily over the status of Quebec. While Canada and France often find themselves on the opposite sides of such trade disputes as agricultural free trade and the sale of genetically modified food, they co-operate closely on such issues as the insulation of cultural industries from free trade agreements (something both countries are strongly in favour of). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Canada-France_relations

Foreign relations of Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Canada's international relations are the responsibility of Foreign Affairs Canada (FAC), which is run by the Minister of Foreign Affairs, a position currently held by Pierre Pettigrew.

Reader's Companion to American History - -CANADA-U.S. RELATIONS Toward the end of the century political relations improved in tandem with Anglo-American rapprochement: during the Alaska boundary controversy of 1903, for example, Britain prevailed on Canada to accept a compromise solution. Relations between the United States and British North America from the American Revolution to Canadian confederation in 1867 was marked by tension over territorial issues and less abrasive but still uneasy economic relations. Economic relations progressed in the same direction between 1867 and 1960, although not without periods of friction and debate among Canadians over long-term costs and benefits. college.hmco.com /history/readerscomp/rcah/html/ah_014000_canadausrela.htm   (1055 words)

The Dartmouth Online U.S. and Canadian policy experts discussed the differences and conflicts in a two-day panel series this week that examined the state of the U.S. and Canada's "special relationship," covering topics ranging from health care, energy resources and the effects of Sept. 11, to the deteriorating relationship between the countries. Because of Canada's differing stances on the Cold War and Iraq, "Canada is not going to be looked upon kindly," he said. Not only are Canada and America mismatched in power, with America as the sole global superpower, but Canada pays more attention to American affairs than America does to Canadian affairs. www.thedartmouth.com /article.php?aid=2004040901020   (633 words)

In The Northwest: U.S.-Canadian relations troubled by many gremlins Canada has trouble, even in the best of times, getting a powerful neighbor to put its issues on the front burner.

The paramountcy of Canada-U.S. relations In the Cabinet, Canada-U.S. relations would be, in one respect or another, the responsibility of the Prime Minister as chairman of the new Committee on Canada-U.S. relations; the foreign minister, as head of the Foreign Affairs and Defence Committee; and the Canadian ambassador to Washington. The U.S. imports a lot of paper and lumber from Canada (at least until that stupid softwood lumber tariff was imposed by the U.S. in 2001), and many "American-made" cars are actually made with parts that are manufactured in Ontario. These phenomena are not coicincidental but intergally related; as Canada has become militarily weak its politicians have looked with greater and greater affection upon the UN and its related organizations. www.freerepublic.com /focus/f-news/916095/posts   (5504 words)
