Abstract

Canada, Past and Present
Brebner, J. B. | December 27, 1947 issue

add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the book, Canada: A Political and Social History, written by Edgar McInns. The old imbalance in American concern about Canada and Latin America, by which the Panama Canal and Caribbean oil heavily outweighed the largest single economic affiliation of the U.S., appears to be adjusting itself to aerial travel, atomic energy, natural resources, and Canada's role in American calculations about all three. McInnis's history is an apt reflection of his general diagnosis of Canadian survival, that notable triumph over conflicting cultural traditions at home and that striking British and Canadian contradiction of American manifest destiny.
