I can imagine what the US would do if Canada lobbed a few missles at them now and then. Even weak ass poorly aimed often inneffective ones would draw massive response.
Then take a moment to realize that Israel is subject to rocket fire almost DAILY. It probably gets a bit irksome.

Yeah but Canada isn't territory controlled by the United States. Say the Tsutina was lobbing rockets at Calgary. Would it be fair for Canada to send in fighter jets to carpet bomb the Tsutina and go in and demolish homes? No, we would probably undertake a police investigation and bring the perpetrators to justice.
But none of that would happen in Canada anyways because Canada is a nation that respects human rights and equality amongst minorities.
