In an effort to realize their grand dream of one nation
from Panama to the Arctic, Americans have attempted
to conquer our land and our spirit, using war, trade
sanctions, and political interventions of all kinds.
"The fight for Canada continues to this day," says
David Orchard.
In this compelling book, Orchard traces these developments
in a way that makes our history lively and relevant.
He examines the early American invasions of Canada,
the U.S. annexation movements, and various trade proposals,
including the 1911 free trade election that prompted
Rudyard Kipling to write, "It is her own soul Canada
risks today."
Orchard probes the legacy of John A. Macdonald, Louis
Riel, Henri Bourassa, Pierre Trudeau, and others;
explains the evolution, content, and effects of the
Canada-U.S. Free Trade Agreement, which he calls "the
new constitution of Canada;" and outlines in plain
language our new trade arrangements with the U.S.
and Mexico. Orchard also tackles Meech Lake and Charlottetown
accords and considers what lies ahead.

for Canada, please read the Ottawa Citizen,
October 25, 2003 article, “David
Orchard’s love of Canada,” by former
PC Party federal candidate and Canadian Alliance riding
president, Margaret Kopala.
