Barlow Challenges Fortress North America

Best-selling author Maude Barlow's newest book, Too Close for Comfort: Canada's Future Within Fortress North America, calls for an end to the integration of Canada's foreign, defence and trade policies with those of George Bush's America. Despite the deep unpopularity of President Bush in this country, Canadians are increasingly finding their long-held values challenged by the national security interests of his administration.

The national chairperson of the Council of Canadians, Nobel Prize nominee, and recent Right Livelihood Award recipient argues that Canada is at risk of losing what has been acquired through decades of democratic progress.
