Even as the controversy rages over softwood lumber, the book can be closed on whether Canada's great trade deals with the United States have benefited Canada.
Those deals the Free Trade Agreement of the late 1980s and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which replaced FTA in 1994 have made the United States the engine of Canada's economy. Yet, new threats loom on the horizon.

Anti-Americanism seems embedded in the Canadian psyche. When I was young, Canadian school children were taught how shameful it was for United States to delay its entry into World War II and take up the fight for freedom and democracy.
Canada declared war on Nazi Germany shortly after Britain. The United States stayed out until Pearl Harbor. As a schoolboy, I learned about mean-spirited US isolationists, who rejected any global responsibility. I learned about Nazi apologists in the pre-war United States and about anti-British sentiments.
