Description
Drawing upon a decade of polling both sides of the border, Michael Adams reveals that Canada and the United States are not coming together, but are diverging in significant ways. Contrary to popular belief, Fire and Ice provides fascinating evidence that the cultural divergence between our country and the United States will continue for years to come.
