Bomb Canada

and Other Unkind Remarks in the American Media

Athabasca University Press
Canada and the United States. Two nations, one border, same continent.
Anti-American sentiment in Canada is well documented, but what have
Americans had to say about their northern neighbour? Allan examines how
the American media has portrayed Canada from Confederation to the Obama
inauguration. By examining major events that have tested bilateral
relations, Bomb Canada tracks the history of anti-Canadianism
in the U.S. Informative, thought-provoking and at times hilarious, this
first-of-its-kind book reveals another layer of the complex
relationship between Canada and the United States.
Chantal Allan is an award-winning journalist who hasreported for CBC Radio and NPR (National Public Radio). Her articleshave appeared in the Toronto Star, Los Angeles DailyNews, and other publications. She received her M.A. in journalismfrom the University of Southern California and now lives in LosAngeles.
