McGill University

Canada’s relations with the United States are broad and deep, and with Barack Obama in the White House, the two countries are entering what could be a new era of hope and renewal.  From water and energy policy to defence, environmental strategy, and Arctic sovereignty, author David Dyment provides an astute, pithy analysis of the past, present, and future continental dance between two countries that have much in common yet often step on each other’s feet.
