PIMKing, it has nothing to do with America wanting to help or not, as a key signatory in NATO, an attack on any NATO allies soil is an attack on American Soil. Any attack on american soil is considered an attack on Canadian soil.
The American's have no choice but to jump in on the defense of their NATO allies unless they want to desolve NATO.
Combine that with the NORAD requirements and fundementally Canada and the U.S share a common command structure, and a common defense strategy.
There is no choice for the President.
