Thats the irony of the situation in Canada. Its so cool and "Canadian" to bash the yanks, sort of gives you an indentity, which is, we hate USA and its money grubbing ideology (that makes me Canadian).
But..... if North Vietnam started lobbing missiles at downtown Montreal or Toronto, who would we turn to for help?........France perhaps?

It's one of the advantages, there are many disadvantages too. Goes both ways. Doesn't mean there aren't critisisms and none has the right to voice them.
I disagree also that Canada's only identity is that we hate the US.
