I say this as a Canadian, but why does it seem the US is always kissing UK butt? They don’t deserve it. Not the nation that conspired in a coup against the POTUS.

We had to kick butt in 1775 and 1812

got sucked into saving them again in WWI

My American history may be off, but can we blame Alexander Hamilton for that? He wanted a strong relationship with Britain. Of note, part of the reason for the US Depression is the US used the powers of the Federal Reserve to save the UK from a massive outflow of its gold reserve. That resulted in a mild recession in the 30s for the UK and a major one for the US.

Wilson I believe sold you guys out in WWI.

Canada of course was Britain’s “bitch” in WWI and WWII. Without Canada, they would have been in big trouble.
