Canadian Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau has long pursued a strongly nationalist policy that tried to lower the proportion of foreign ownership of sensitive economic areas. But, so far, the American reaction to the Canadian invasion has been warm. In the mile-square beachfront community of Surfside, Fla., near affluent Bal Harbour, Canadian businessmen have almost finished two high-rise condominiums, valued at $46 million. Next month the town will hold its annual "Salute to Canada" week...

More forthrightly, Ottawa's Energy Minister, Marc Lalonde, warned that a refusal to pay would be "a dangerous precedent for any government to take...
