Abstract
The past 50 years have seen great enhancement in the abilities of North American nations to address environmental degradation. The Global Financial Crisis, the effects of which are still apparent throughout the world, perhaps occasioned a shift away from environmental protection in favor of a business-friendly policy mind-set, supportive of increased employment. While support of environmental protection and business are not mutually exclusive, environmental regulation nevertheless costs money; resources for building environmental management capacity are redirected from other policy priorities, and in dire economic times, such spending might not be seen an absolute necessity. Priority-setting for environment has sometimes been illusive, in national policy terms, and across borders, for a variety of reasons.
