Well known Canadian Author , Farley Mowat, passionately indicts the Canadian government and the multinational corporations' greed and lethargy that have steered the North toward a possibly irreversible ecological disaster. In l976 he writes " Close to ninety percent of all Canadian northern resources so far discovered are already owned directly or indirectly by foreign companies. Most of thses resources are already destined to be shipped out of Canada in their raw state to to enrich the manufacturing and processing industries of other countries- foremost amongst whom are "our brothers- the Americans".ISBN 0-316-58694-3
