Renewing the U.S. - Canada Relationship
February 3, 2005
Topic(s)
“It is by now evident that Canada is losing influence in Washington,” says The Assembly’s report on Renewing the U.S.-Canada Relationship. “At the same time that Canada has lost clout in Washington, U.S. leadership’s judgment post 9/11 has been met with skepticism and even hostility by Canadians.”
 
On February 3-6, 2005, The American Assembly convened a group of seventy American and Canadian opinion leaders  in Harriman, New York, to discuss the neighboring nation's relations including growing anti-Canadianism and anti-Americanism and a challenge to the notion that United States and Canadian values are diverging.
