Sorry, Jim, but Canada isn't as important as it thinks it is. No offence.

Hey, no problem. The US is much bigger and much more important on the world stage, without a doubt.

However, in that sense, Canada is therefore important indirectly---the fact that it is official US policy to annex Canada against the wishes of its population informs the world (including Americans who are paying attention) of what the US is really about these days. No illusions any more, no pesky lingering ambiguity.

When a celebrity kicks a dog in public, that particular dog may not be important, but you learn a whole lot of definitive information about the kicker country.

There was once a contest to complete the phrase "As Canadian as..."
The winner was "As Canadian as possible under the circumstances".

Jim
