Winner of the 2004 Donner Prize for best book on Canadian public policy.

As Canadians, we have long defined ourselves as "not Americans." We cherish our differences from our powerful neighbour, but as the United States grows ever more dominant on the world stage, can we hope to hold on to our national identity? Are we fated to become Americans in a generation or two?

In Fire and Ice, Michael Adams challenges the myth of converging values that has led us to believe our Canadian way of life is doomed to extinction. Drawing upon a decade of never-before-released pulse-taking from both sides of the border, he reveals that Canada and the United States are not coming together but are diverging in significant ways. From the vehicles we buy to the deference we pay to authority, Canadians prove to be firmly separate in their attitudes and opinions.
