Abstract

Canada under Old Glory

Cort, David | August 10, 1964 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses the fantasy of joining of Canada with the U.S. Following the U.S.-Canada federation, there would first be agonized attempts by the American political parties to capture the very different segments of the Canadian electorate, with the short-term prospects very doubtful. Set against the realization of this fantasy is the peculiar reality that Canada is that mysterious and holy concept, a nation firmly established and fully crystallized in the minds of most of its inhabitants. A wild inflation may have depreciated the concept of nation and this intuition would naturally have come first to the rational Canadians.
