Overview

Canada and the United States share something truly unique. Canada and the United States share common ground and an uncommon partnership. But what most distinguishes the Canada-U.S. relationship is neither geographic nor commercial — it’s personal. Our special relationship is the product of shared values, countless cross-border connections, and generations of combined experience. Our two countries have grown into more than just friends. We are family. And our family ties have been tested in the years since this book was first published to commemorate 150 years of Canada-U.S. friendship. With Faith & Goodwill celebrates the ups and downs, the vigour and variety of that family history by showcasing the words and images of prime ministers, presidents, and other dignitaries. From Sir John A. Macdonald to Joseph R. Biden, Jr., and including everyone from John F. Kennedy to Justin Trudeau and Kamala Harris, this beautifully designed collection of speeches and rarely seen photographs offers a privileged peek into the power politics of Canada-U.S. relations.
