Canada and the United States. Two nations, one border, same continent.
Anti-American sentiment in Canada is well documented, but what have
Americans had to say about their northern neighbour? Allan examines how
the American media has portrayed Canada from Confederation to the Obama
inauguration. By examining major events that have tested bilateral
relations, Bomb Canada tracks the history of anti-Canadianism
in the U. S. Informative, thought-provoking and at times hilarious, this
first-of-its-kind book reveals another layer of the complex
relationship between Canada and the United States.
