This respond of you above is exactly what I said you have to do. Estimate the reaction of the Canadians as this has a major impact on the question if your own action is in your own interest or not.
I did object you saying, that the US does not have to care what Canada thinks, that might be true, but you have to care about how Canada reacts. And this is a direct consquence out of what it thinks combined with its capabilities to react. What you did now, was making yourself thoughts about the reaction of Canada. Even if that means saying they won't do anything of importance as reaction. You in indirect consequence contradicted with your comment.

The differences between the two countries is minor. The squabbles we have are ridiculous, idiotic, childish, moronic, etc... You would think 2 countries as large as ours and as advanced would actually work together more because we could accopmplish a hell of a lot, but then there is the pride, which never helps anything when used foolishly. At the end of the day, both countries are squandering opportunities, its a 50/50 deal and we both choose to waste it. Diplomacy in action.
