Energy clash looms as Canada drifts toward NDP control
American observers warn that Canada’s New Democratic Party presses for economic nationalism and plans to curb American oil dominance. Ottawa faces pressure to create a government oil cartel while the Liberal government remains politically hostage to NDP demands. The result could sour U.S.-Canada ties by 1976, amid fears of a broader anti American stance and energy policy shifts.
