U.S. Investment in Canada

The implications of American involvement in the Canadian economy extend far beyond the strictly economic sphere  at least, according to some Canadians. In the fall of 1988, a general election is taking place in Canada, just as it is in the United States. Canadians go to the polls on 21 November, while Americans vote about two weeks earlier, on 8 November.

Canada badly desires to see an end to the unilateral imposition of counterveiling duties on its products by the US, and Canada would like to create a system of binding arbitration for trade disputes between the two countries. Additionally, Canada would like for the US to cease its agricultural subsidies. Canada also desires to preserve its protection of its cultural industries, and, with an almost religious fervor, most Canadians want to retain the Auto Pact unchanged. The Auto Pact is of such great importance to each country and to the FTA that it must be examined. The Pact covers most trade in automobiles and automotive parts between the two countries (Bergsten, Horst, & Moran, 1983, p. 479).
