Full bibliography

The relationship between the Canadian and American labour movements is unique. It has given rise to considerable controversy and yet has been the subject of surprisingly little intensive research. As a result those with an axe to grind have been able to express themselves without fear of contradiction based on cold, hard facts. This study may reduce the frequency of such utterances. It endeavors to deal objectively with an area of Canadian-American relations where emotion and prejudice have distorted public debate. The reader will have to judge for himself whether sufficient detachment has been shown to achieve real objectivity. --From author's preface
