Trading at a premium to the U.S. dollar in the early 1970s, it was not until the Bretton Woods system of pegged exchange rates collapsed under the strains of the Viet Nam war in 1972, that brought a sudden state of chaos to the historical relationship between the two North American dollars. As a series of Free Trade Agreements negotiated in the 1990s raised Canada's dependence on one of the largest free markets in the world, the Canadian dollar appeared increasingly vulnerable to Canadian industrial and trade policy. As one of the world's oldest currencies challenges its all-time historical lows, a vital debate rages over the benefits of having just one major currency spanning both the U.S. and Canada. This book presents a concise "living history" of the economic and financial life of Canada during one of the most revolutionary decades in modem memory (1990-2000).

Excerpt from The History of Canadian Currency, Banking and Exchange: One Currency for the Empire A letter to the Kingston Chronicle, of the same year, declares it to be well known that the specie which comes to Kingston for the payment of the troops, etc., is not put into circulation, but is paid over to the agent of the bank (montreal) who issues the bank's notes and sends the specie back to Lower Canada in the very cases in which it arrived. Some hye years later. Commissary General Routh states that the contractors on the Rideau Canal and elsewhere, instead of receiving cash, take a draft on Montreal, payable in dollars, and they dispose of this at a premium for bank notes, with which they pay their men and obtain supplies.

How does a venerable institution adapt quickly to sometimes volatile global markets and shifting domestic demands of the late twentieth century? In A History of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Volume 5 1973-1999, the story of CIBC unfolds amidst a backdrop of world-changing events, economic booms and busts, and memorable moments in Canadian history. This era of the bank saw challenges such as the OPEC crisis and recession-driven collapses of iconic companies like Massey-Ferguson, Dome Petroleum, and Olympia & York. CIBC weathered such storms, while also pursuing opportunities in international banking and corporate acquisitions, and embracing technology and education. The lessons of the past shine through in this long-view of how to remain competitive and continue to evolve to meet the needs of millions of clients. All the while, the bank's commitment to its communities is clearly evident in the passionate and generous spirit of CIBC's team members, and its corporate support as one of the leading donors in the nation. At the heart of all the historical highs and lows are the people of CIBC, here profiled from the executives responsible for the bottom line to those working on the front lines, serving bank clients day in and day out. A History of Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce brings to life the strategic changes that have propelled CIBC forward as it creates enduring value for its stakeholders.

Many believe that Canada's deepening economic integration with the United States and the worldwide trend towards currency blocs will eventually lead to a North American monetary union. In the first detailed analysis of Canadian exchange rate politics, Eric Helleiner challenges this view.Helleiner finds little support in the US for the concessions that would be necessary to make a North American monetary union palatable in Canada. Comparing the US Federal Reserve and the European Monetary Union, he argues that Canada would exercise far less influence within a North American monetary union than individual countries do within the European community. He also analyses the seemingly paradoxical support of Quebec sovereignists for free trade and monetary union.Towards North American Monetary Union'explores Canada's unusually strong commitment throughout the twentieth century to a floating exchange rate for its national currency - a commitment that Heilleiner argues is likely to endure.

Excerpt from The Early History of Canadian Banking: Canadian Currency and Exchange Under French Rule From this we gather that the payment of so many troops and other outlay requiring ready money, had necessitated the King sending much specie to Canada every year. On the other hand the falling off in the beaver, which used to be the staple of export against which letters of exchange were drawn, had made it necessary for the merchants to send much Specie back to France in default of other means of paying for imports. Hence it naturally occurred to Champigny that it would be much more safe and convenient, both for the merchants and the King to have them turn their money over to him instead of sending it back to France, receiving in return letters of exchange which would be paid in France with the money which would other wise have been sent to Canada.
