Fire and Ice: The United States Canada And The Myth Of Converging Values
A Academic, Nonfiction, Anthropology book. North Americans and people that dig North Americans.
Our front pages scream US military, social and fiscal policy. It may appear that — with immigration questions, airport and border restrictions, debate about common currency and talk of private health clinics — we are drifting inevitably towards a greater political and philosophical alliance with the United States. The implication is that we share their values. As Canadians, we have long defined ourselves as “not Americans.” We cherish our differences from our powerful neighbour but, as the United States grows ever more dominant on the world stage, can we hope to hold on to our national identity?

More About Fire and Ice: The United States Canada And The Myth Of Converging Values

I think if you're Canadian you're going to love this book (obviously, bebcause it's written from a Canadian point of view so it's pro-Canadian). If you're American,... Politics between Canada & US. This is a dead on book of truth in how the 2 countries are so divided. I thought of this book after Obama rejected the pipeline. North Americans and people that dig North Americans.
