Abstract:	English-Canadian nationalism, defined as the organised pursuit of greater cultural and economic independence from the United States, has long faced significant internal and external challenges. The coming into effect of bilateral and trilateral free trade agreements, on their own significant losses for the interest, coincided chronologically with the erosion of a progressive social movement presence in English Canada, a movement that had helped to animate anti-free trade activism. This article examines the dynamics of contemporary nationalism with particular reference to organised feminism and other movements in English Canada.
