I agree with you there, but don't forget, we provide quite the moat for the US as well from a Northern attack, which in my opinion, is the way it will go one day when China finally decides to go for it. Someone has to mind the business in our arctic wasteland and run the oil factory in the mean time.
When the day comes, we will be clamoring to all become the 51st state. I just hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime. I do however sleep a lot better at night, knowing our neighbours to the south are the biggest bad asses on the planet when it comes to military might. I don't doubt for a second, any invasion on Canada, would be treated by the US no differently than an invasion on their home soil. For both compassionate, and strategic reasons.
