==== Context: ====
After WWII, the U.S. wanted to make sure Canada — with all its resources — stayed on "Team America" during the Cold War.

Presidents:
* Harry Truman (D) (1945–1953)
* Dwight Eisenhower (R) (1953–1961)

Prime Ministers:
* Louis St. Laurent (Liberal) (1948–1957)
* John Diefenbaker (Progressive Conservative) (1957–1963)

Intervention Goals:
* Keep Canadian uranium (for nukes) flowing south.
* Build NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense Command) to control Arctic airspace.
* Stop Canada from being "too independent" in foreign policy.

Agencies Involved:
* CIA (Central Intelligence Agency)
* U.S. Air Force
* State Department

Notable Actions:
* Pushed Canada hard to join NORAD (1957) — meaning U.S. got joint control over Canadian skies.
* CIA kept tabs on Canadian politicians to make sure they were "anti-Communist enough."
