Canerica - Canada & America

During the past decade there have been numerous reports, both official and

academic that imply that Canada has finally blossomed into the liberated, independent and admirable nation that it so desired to in the past. Independent meaning, one who is not subject to control by others, but that is not the case with Canada. Although the citizens of Canada believe that Canada is an affluent and soviet nation, it has never actual been independent; instead it has allowed itself to be mocked by other nations. In the 19th century Canada was under the British Empire and now in the 21st century, Canada is apart of the new American Empire. Manifest Destiny has always been on the minds of the Americans when its northern neighbor was involved, although the United States failed in its attempts to annex Canada; it somehow has gained unlimited economic power and control over Canada. Through migration and immigration, there has been a significant degree of intermingling between the citizens of the two countries over the generations. In the course of the 20th century they have developed the largest bilateral trading relationship in the world, Canada and the United States also have shared a common political, economic, cultural and geographic he


Canada has never been an independent country, instead it has always been taken under the wing of another nation, first it was Britain and now it is the United States. Many factors contribute to the influence that the US has had on Canada. In the early 20th century, it was the United States who had created such technological advancements like the radio and television. Canadians were not only curious of their southern naghbour but were excited that they were able to experience what the Americans were experiencing at the time and that continues to be the case today. With the NAFTA agreement in effect, Canada and the United States will continue to have a strong relationship, meaning that the United States will continue to benefit from Canadian raw materials and alternative goods. It is truly unfortunate that the majority of big businesses in Canada are American owned, including food chain restaurants, television networks, and technology as profits are not being included in the Canadian economy but rather they go towards the American economy. It was Mackenzie King who once stated that there were two roads open to Canada, being independent or joing a union with the United States, he stated that he wanted to choose `the American road' if the United States would make it possible for him to do so. Every powerful empire has its rise, it passes the climax of its power, the British Empire was once the most powerful country in the world, as was the Russian Empire but, every empire will have its fall. There will always continue to be a power struggle in the world, and once the new American Empire falls, there will be no traces or remains of Canada left behind, since Canada depends on the United States, it is only seem as a small extension of the United States.

Canada as a democratic society should make its own decisions, decisions that are represented by the majority of the people and their views, yet Canadian politicians continuously look over their shoulder for the "US stamp of approval" before making any colossal decisions. This clearly indicates a lack of leadership in Canada, where most of the time, Canada folds rapidly under US pressure and ultimately allows the United States to influence its decisions. For instance, Canada backed down in the Cuban crisis; they cut back aid programs to Cuba to meet the demands of the United States. Canada not only cancelled numerous exchange visits of government representatives, but Canadian ideologies collapsed under United States pressure when Canada ended up criticizing Cuba at the UN Commission on Human Rights meeting in Geneva. An independent nation never falls victim to influence or control, unless it is apart of a larger union and that is the case concerning Canada, as its quite evident that Canada is apart of the new American Empire. Canada has not only crumbled under US pressure, but has also found the need to gain approval from the United
