"The book focuses on a strategic choice by the North American wing of the global climate movement: to ally themselves with place-based interests, including Indigenous groups, to block new coal plants, coal port expansion, fracking, and more recently, oil sands pipelines. The strategy by climate activists to target fossil fuel infrastructure has been effective at movement building and driving policy forward, but it might also indirectly threaten the clean energy transformation needed to address the climate crisis"--

"Drawing together an interdisciplinary group of scholars, this collection of essays - part of the Trends Project of the Government of Canada's Policy Research Initiative - examines North American integration and its potential future impact on Canadian life. It looks at trends in integration, knowledge gaps, and policy implications in economics, culture, and politics." "The contributors argue that the consequences of continental integration have not been as formidable as many people believe - the reality turns out to be enormously complex and ambiguous. While Canada has surrendered some policy instruments in exchange for access to larger markets and the pressures for harmonization have probably increased, it still retains significant room to manoeuvre, even in areas of policy most affected by growing economic integration. Canada has formidable capacities for domestic policy choices in a wide range of sectors, as this volume clearly shows. It is up to Canadians and their elected officials to exercise that freedom, and the essays collected here can guide them in their choices, as they help to forge a new North America."--Jacket

L'objectif de ce livre est d'examiner les répercussions de l'intégration nord-américaine sur la vie culturelle, intellectuelle, politique, sociale et économique des Canadiens. Les résultats de cette analyse sont étonnants. On y apprend que l'exode des cerveaux ne correspond pas vraiment à ce que les médias en ont dit ; que les industries culturelles sont une des premières sources de revenus de nos voisins du sud ; que les échanges interprovinciaux, malgré un déclin incontestable (spécialement au Québec), l'emportent très nettement sur le commerce avec les États-Unis ; que les négociations de l'ALENA ont été menées sans consultations du milieu syndical et en parfaite harmonie avec le milieu des affaires ; que le fédéralisme canadien piloté par Ottawa tend à étouffer l'autonomie provinciale et ainsi à s'autodétruire ; que les préoccupations écologiques du Canada sont assez timides par rapport à celles des États-Unis. Dans cette perspective, il faut, selon les auteurs, défendre l'autonomie de l'État canadien dans ses alliances commerciales, sociales et culturelles et faire preuve d'un respect plus prononcé pour les prérogatives provinciales. Faute de quoi, l'avenir s'annonce très difficile.
