A primary impetus for Orchard to write this book was the pending Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and later the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). He was, and still is, a strong opponent to these agreements.
Critical reception has been mixed.[1] The Calgary Herald gave a positive review for The Fight for Canada, favourably comparing Orchard to the Canadian nationalist Mel Hurtig.[2] Books in Canada was more mixed in their review, as they felt that the first half of the book contained "propaganda by the selection of historical excerpts".[3]
