Last Call for Canada Format: Trade Paperback

When Canada bowed to the US demands to allow American nuclear warheads on its Bomarc missiles in 1965, George Grant wrote Lament for a Nation describing how the country was becoming a vassal state to the Americans. Sixty years later Canada is being threatened by the US president for complete absorption into American empire. Last Call for Canada traces the common threads that link the two eras and then explores the profound differences in today’ s multipolar world where the US is a wounded giant and it is China and its BRICS+ partners that are in the ascendancy. McFarlane’ s insightful, impeccably researched and engagingly written book looks at how well Canada— a country that for virtually its entire history has been the junior partner to the world’ s dominant power (first Britain then the US)— is equipped to deal with the American threat in the new multipolar world.
