He discusses the periods from the beginning of the century to the Trudeau years, the Trudeau era, and 1984 and beyond, and turning points such as Canada's decision to enter the Organization of American States as a full member, its involvement in NAFTA negotiations, and its peacekeeping role in Central America.
