Abstract

*This paper was first read as one of two Maurice Falk lectures at the Carnegie Institute i n Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The Australian Iournal of Politics and History our export embargo, no one who saw the embarrassed eagerness with which the Canadian minister of trade and commerce received a Cuban trade delegation; no one who has observed how the Canadian political parties use certain anti-American themes to advantage in their national and provincial elections; no one who has seen the growing clamour in Quebec for autonomy or independence ;no one who has followed the growing debate over national purpose in Canada, can fail to be concerned. For there is such a debate in Canada. Quite naturally concerned with our own debate over national purpose, over what the American dream is, or was, or can be, and with the way in which the war in Vietnam may affect this dream, we have failed t o notice that Canadians have been arguing some of the same issues. When in opposition Lester B. Pearson, now the liberal prime minister of Canada and a former teacher of history, with that strong sense of the future which only a clear knowledge of the past
