Challenging the prevailing narrative of Canada's economic subservience to the United States during the mid-twentieth century, Bruce Muirhead presents a compelling analysis supported by extensive archival research. He highlights instances where Canadian policymakers successfully navigated trade agreements, such as the Auto Pact, and explores the rise of nationalism and anti-American sentiment, particularly during the Vietnam War era. Muirhead also clarifies misconceptions about the impact of Diefenbaker and Kennedy's relationship on trade, asserting Canada's economic independence during this period, making it a thought-provoking read for historians and scholars.
