The Fight for Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism
Encyclopedia
The book The Fight for Canada: Four Centuries of Resistance to American Expansionism, was written by David Orchard
. First published in 1993, a revised edition with five new chapters was released in 1998. It details the history of Canada
and the many attempts of annexation, by military or political means, by the United States of America
.
A primary impetus for Mr. Orchard to write this book was the pending Free Trade Agreement
(FTA) and later the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA). He was, and still is, a strong opponent to these agreements.
Here is a quote from Stompin' Tom, a famous Canadian country singer:
