Foreign Policy Of Canada
About the moment in time Brian Mulroney came into power, we saw a lot of changes on the international stage, and within Canada. The change we saw around the world was a move from the Keynesian Industrial policy, which was a call for more states invention in their domestic market and economy, to a shift to the Neo-Liberalism around the Global in the early 1980’s. Neo-Liberalism was the core trust of Laizzez Faire economics, Neo Liberalism is where it thinks that Government cannot control employment but should let the private sector create jobs and investment, and that cuts of tax and less government regulations cut production costs down. We saw the rise of Neo-Liberalism government elections in such counties as Margaret Thatcher British Prime Minister in 1979, Ronald Regan US President in 1980, and Joe Clark Prime Minster of Canada in 1979(Carroll and Shaw, 195- 217). The big Change we saw in Canada was after 21 years of being under power by the Liberal party, expect for 200 days in 1979, when Joe Clark, had a minority government but lost on a non-confidence vote, Canada was controlled by the Liberal party at the federal level. This meant for the first since 1957 till 1963, under John Diefenbaker, the Right
In this paper, it will compare Mulroney’s foreign and defence policies to those of former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau, and show how the two prime minister different from each other. This paper will use books, but to get into the deep root of Mulroney on how he dealt with problems, and reasons for dealing with those problems in that way, this paper will use political science journals. In 1985, France and the United States where having trouble coming up with reform for the international monetary system. Mulroney told both the United States, and the France President, that he was willing to be a mediator. The problem was the Regan did not want any immediate move on monetary reform, and the French President Francois Mitterrand said that he would not accept negotiations on trade issues, unless they started talking about reforms on the International monetary system. Britain, West Germany, and Japan would all side with the United States, but Mulroney would not participated in a common front against France, because “we will always look for ways to reconcile French and Canadian position, would vigorously oppose any attempts to isolate the French. This could be a great example of what makes Canada have to stay out of certain issues, because in Canada we have English-French conflict, and if Canada would have sided with the Americans, this could cause a problem in Canada between the French and English speaking Canadians (Hoy, 141). The former prime Minster of Canada, Pierre Truduel did not have close relationship with the Americans, and he would put up barriers to block American investment into Canada. In 1980, Trudeau and his government would pass a program called the National Energy Program (NEP). The NEP was a program which was to impose new federal taxes, retained a larger share of petroleum revenue for Ottawa, to keep the national price of oil below the world levels, and to promote Canadianization of the industry. When Mulroney and his government came into power, he scrapped the whole program all together (Dyck, 53).
