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.

"Powerful and compelling... gracefully written... the stuff of movies... a Canadian social history, a journal of the Canada–U.S. Free Trade Agreement’s development, a point by point handbook to the FTA and NAFTA..." — read some of the reviews.

The Fight For Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism is for sale at $19.95 plus $5.00 for mailing.
