Abstract:	The central argument of the paper is that the thrust of the current changes in Canadian defense policy, while maintaining Canada’s traditional multilateral approach to national security, will largely preserve existing defense ties with the United States. Indeed, with the reduced priority now being given NATO, reduced budgets, and the somewhat tenuous nature of other security linkages, it can be argued that strictly bilateral security relations will be both relatively more important for Canadian defense policy and easier to sustain into the post-Cold War era. Any problems in the overall defense relationship are more likely to emerge from factors relating to U.S. activities outside North America, especially with regard to multilateral peacekeeping and those relating to developments inside Canada with regard to the future of Quebec.
