I find that pretty questionable.
The Canada-US border is one of the largest in the world I believe. If Canada is attacked by Russia, basically the US is threatened because there's no way they could secure the border fully.
Aren't the US and Canada huge trading partners as well? If your biggest importer/exporter is under attack, its going to affect your economy.
The two countries are two closely linked and have too many border issues for the US to be able to look the other way if Canada were attacked.
Would the US rather Canada had a much more substantial military to defend the north? Of course. But its a huge threat to America if anybody attacks/invades Canada.
