Dismantled By Liberals
The National Policy was slowly dismantled under the many years of Liberal rule under William Lyon Mackenzie King and Louis St. Laurent. At the same time, the United States was lowering its tariffs. Economic integration surged during World War II, and in 1965 the automobile industry in the two nations became fully integrated. Complete free trade was not achieved until 1988 with the Canadian-American Free Trade Agreement brought in by Brian Mulroney's Progressive Conservative government.

Famous quotes containing the words dismantled and/or liberals:
“Being dismantled before our eyes are not just individual programs that politicians cite as too expensive but the whole idea that society has a stake in the well-being of children down the block and the security of families on the other side of town. Whether or not kids eat well, are nurtured and have a roof over their heads is not just a consequence of how their parents behave. It is also a responsibility of society—but now apparently a diminishing one.”
—Richard B. Stolley (20th century)
“The liberals can understand everything but people who don’t understand them.”
—Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)
