From the Paper:

"The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) controversy of the late 1980s galvanized Canadians from coast to coast. In the end, the proponents of Free Trade triumphed, but not without hard feelings on both sides. This paper examines a contentious 1993 article written by S. McBride and J. Shields that denounces the North American Free Trade Agreement as a miscalculation that constitutes an assault upon the traditional Canadian polity (161). In the final analysis, this paper will argue that while McBride and Shields are not wrong in many of their conclusions, their work could still stand a few emendations."
