American Politics Through a Canadian LensSubscribeSyndicate content

American Politics Through a Canadian Lens

American politics, culture, power and influence and the effect these things have on Canadian - American relations.
 

In 1969 while addressing the National Press Club in Washington D.C., then Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau said of America that “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant.  No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt. So just what are these “twitches and grunts” and how is Canada affected by them? 

This dossier explores this question by looking at American politics, culture, power and influence and the effect these things have on Canadian - American relations.
