During the Cold War our policy was to snipe at America for hometown political brownie points while always remembering that we were on “their side” if trouble came.
When the Cold War ended, Canada became less willing to accept the lead of the United States. Sadly, the U.S. being the only superpower, it doesn’t much matter to the White House what anyone, let alone Canada, thinks. George W. Bush has made it clear that the U.S. will do whatever it thinks is best for its interests, with that determined by the most recent polls. Canadians don’t like being in thrall to America yet are uncertain as to how to break free.
