I believe for the last hundred years or so our aims and the Americans have been pretty much the same. We've disagreed on how to achieve those aims such as in Viet Nam and Iraq but that's not a huge problem in our relationship. Where the problems in the future can come from is protecting our natural resources and the North West passage. I see our future aims as not being in lock step with the Americans and even the British anymore. It's time for Canada to set it's own future but making the Chinese and or Russians our closest allies, is a joke. I think they are more our rivals and it's time for Canada to build our armed forces to protect our sovereignty.
