This has been an ongoing issue/argument for years now and I think you're giving more power to Canada than we have. America doesn't listen to us on anything. In fact we don't count, except to support the US in whatever it chooses to do. And when we don't they often bring up the fact our military warhorse is a pittance of America's and we should be spending billions on building it up instead of having universal healthcare and an active social safety net.
