Canadian policy makers have repeatedly emphasized improving relations with Brazil as a strategic objective in the Americas. Given past failures to cooperate, this objective may be difficult to realize. We argue that one of the reasons for this unrealized relationship between Canada and Brazil within hemispheric institutions is different national approaches to the role and purpose of multilateralism. This argument is advanced through an analysis of national interpretations of each country's engagement with multilateralism, drawing on the local literatures. The paper concludes with a discussion of the prospects and limits of future multilateral cooperation between the two countries, drawing on examples from the Inter-American System.

La question de à exportation de l'eau en gros soulève discussion dans les milieux politiques, économiques, écologiques et nationalistes, surtout au Canada. Cette étude en examine la faisabilité commerciale. Un projet hypothétique est conçu, avec pour site la Vallée d'Annapolis, située dans l'ouest de la Nouvelle-Ecosse, au Canada. Les données démographiques, le climat et l'économie de la Vallée sont analysés et sa ligne de partage des eaux étudiée dans le but de mieux choisir le site d'extraction. La ville de Brownsville au Texas est le marché hypothétique retenu. Un plan contenant un devis estimatif est proposé. Pour exporter l'eau, on se servira de grands transporteurs de brut (VLCC). Les calculs indiquent qu'une telle entreprise est quatre fois peu rentable, d'où la rareté de tels pr...
