Tracing the roots of Canada?s contemporary involvement in North American free trade back to the Royal Commission on the Economic Union and Development Prospects for Canada in 1985 ? also known as the Macdonald Commission ? Gregory J. Inwood offers a critical examination of the commission and how its findings affected Canada?s political and economic landscape, including its present-day reverberations.Using original research ? including content analysis, interviews, archival information, and surveys of relevant literature ? Inwood argues that the Macdonald Commission created an atmosphere and political discourse that made the continentalization of Canada possible by way of free trade agreements with the U.S. and Mexico. Through the use of a suspect research program, and with the aid of a select oligarchy within the Commission and the government bureaucracy, opposition to continentalism from both the majority of the Canadian population and even several commissioners was ignored. Accessible to readers interested in Canadian politics, policy, or economy, Continentalizing Canada offers a thorough examination into the Macdonald Commission and the resulting discourse in the Canadian political economy. 410 0$aStudies in comparative political economy and public policy. 606 $aFree trade$zCanada 606 $aFree trade$zUnited States 606 $aFree trade$zMexico 607 $aCanada$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 607 $aCanada$xEconomic policy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aFree trade 615 0$aFree trade 676 $a354.0971 700 $aInwood$b Gregory J.$01027705 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456318703321 996 $aContinentalizing Canada$92443314 997 $aUNINA
