The opinions of historian Ramsay Cook and columnist Lise Bissonnette
Washington’s hawk’s-eye view of Quebec By Ramsay Cook The Toronto Star, Dec 15, 1990
Since the 1960s, when nationalism in Quebec began to challenge the stability of our once placid federation, foreigners have taken an increasing, and not always friendly, interest in Canadian affairs. Both France and the Soviet Union believed that the breakup of Canada would have an important impact on the United States : France thought the United States would be weakened; the Soviet Union concluded the opposite, since a fragmented Canada would eventually join its southern neighbor. One way or another, then, the United States obviously had an important stake in the future of Canada.
