How Britain's Economic, Political, and Military Weakness Forced Canada into the Arms of the United States The 1988 Joanne Goodman Lectures

'Like many truisms Canadian scherish, this Mortonian-Creightonian-Lynchian stance is not true; or, at least, not wholly true. That Canada has come increasingly under the Americans' political, economic, and military sway I must accept. That Liberal governments were in power during much of the period in which this process occured is certainly corrent. But that Mackenzie King, Louis St. Laurent, and Lester Pearson collaboratedin or willing this surrender to United States control is ridiculous. We must look at why events took place to understand what happened, and that is the purpose of these essays.'
