US-Canada Relations under Franklin D. Roosevelt
  • This publication by Four Freedoms Park Conservancy Inc. (a non-profit organization that programs Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms State Park on Roosevelt Island) explores the relationship between the United States and Canada under President D. Roosevelt's leadership.
  • It is widely recognized that the relationship between Franklin D. Roosevelt and Lyon Mackenzie King set the template for intergovernmental collaboration that in many ways, still remains between Canada and the United States today.
  • From Canada emerging out of British rule, to the collaboration during WW2, to Mackenzie King and Franklin Roosevelt's unique relationship with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and the collaboration on drafting the United States Charter, it is no question that the two leaders transformed the Canada-US relationship.
