: Pretty sure the author _was_ Rohmer, as I used to have a copy - and still
: may.  Hmmm....maybe you're right it _wasn't_ Rohmer.....but can't think of
: anyone else paranoid enough...

 I just happen to have a copy of said novel handy...

Title: The Trudeau Papers
Authour: Ian Adams
Copyright: 1971

 A rather depressing little piece. The USA and USSR lob nukes at each 
other, which fall in Canada. Things go worse from there.

 Besides Rohmer's "Exxoneration" series and the Trudeau Papers, can 
anybody name any novels about the US taking over Canada, in the Past, 
Present, or Future?
 "The Two Georges" is another fun novel - King George and George 
Washington came to a historic agreement, leading to "British North 
America".
