I think that poster was just alluding to the fact that if it weren't for the big effort the US spends on defense, in money and time and personal, countries like Canada couldn't survive.....

its pretty easy to act like the superior moral authority when you have the good old USA to do the dirty work.....

Yes we would, we happen to be your next door neighbour and thereby fall under the defense umbrella. We are well aware and sincerely appreciate that. However, have been able to stand on our own two feet for a few hundred years now while carving out a living on the frigid real estate Uncle Sam didn't want. The Unites States of America should have united the whole damn continent when they had the chance, including Quebec and we all would have been better off.

As for acting morally superior, seriously, would you like us any better if we played step and fetchit all the time. From my personal experience, you guys do not hesitate to shit down our throats when we do not toe the line . Are we not entitled to the same priviledge, after all, we are family and like to tease you guys a bit.
