Description:

A reciprocity
(freer trade)
agreement with the
United States is drafted,
provoking a hostile
reaction from 18 prominent
Toronto businessmen
(known as the “Toronto
Eighteen”), who argue it
will weaken ties with the
British Empire and open
the way to economic union,
and eventually absorption
by the US.
