What a load of horseshit. First of all, 75% of Canadians live within 100 miles of the US. It's like that South Park joke about how the flag waiving country music loving red staters need the bleeding heart liberal peaceniks. You think there's no 99/1% division of wealth in Canada? Ask those Indiginous folks living in Gastown BC what they think of that. (if you can still find any natives in Canada. How many y'all kill off again?) English speaking Canadians are MUCH closer to Americans than they are to French Canadians, in many, many ways.
