The authors assert that Canada is an integral part of the global capitalist imperialist system. As the global expansion of this system reaches its limits, inter-imperialist competition becomes more pronouced. A crisis in the international monetary system is likely to result from global inflationary trends. This, in turn, will produce limited recessions of the imperialist economy. These developments will have profound impacts on the dynamics of class relations in Canada.

Abstract: 
This article is a contribution by some of the leading socialist activists constituting themselves as the United Tendency in a discussion that took place in the League for Socialist Action. Its authors subsequently formed part of the nucleus of the Socialist League. As the title suggests, the article is itself an elaboration and extension of the document "Canada-US Relations: A Socialist Viewpoint," issued by Vanguard Publications four years earlier in 1968.
