Description: How does the United States view Canada? As a country too unimportant to deserve any defined policy, or one that is to be used simply to complement the US mission in the world? This book investigates the gap between Canadian perceptions of American policy toward Canada and actual US policy. Edelgard Mahant and Graeme Mount examine details of White House policy from 1945 to the 1980s to assess the extent to which the United States could be said to have had a Canada policy. They analyze Canada's role in American foreign policy during the crisis days of the Cold War, and they also discuss economic issues, such as natural resources, trade, and investment.
