Living at the Ontario/Michigan border across from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, I cross frequently. My world of Norman Rockwell's delightful creations lives on there. We twin city residents absolutely know how to mind our manners. This when we go over "the ditch". Americans always seem quiet and laid back when they visit us.
Excuse the rant.

No need to excuse your post as a rant.
Yes, the Canada I once knew and loved is now isolated from the USA compared to say the 1950s and 1960s.. Very few Americans now travel to PEI for example.
Just to understand how deep the manipulation went, in 1969 Trudeau made Air Canada terminate the weekend flights from Halifax to Saint John, Fredericton and then Boston. This flight allowed Eastern Canadians to travel to Boston on a Friday night,shop on Saturday and hit the Bruins game in the evening and then after a sleep over, fly home on Sunday. The flight tickets only cost $250.00 back in the mid 60s.
Trudeau had a contempt and hatred for the USA as a socialist who thought that American freedoms were retrograde and inferior, and he ended those flights under the guise of “Canadian unification.” It actully isolated Canada from the USA and Canada made it easier to study and travel to France ( a joke.). One can see the devolution of American travel to Canada today, and also Canadians have been separated from America quite purposefully by the psychopompous Canadian government. Nobody speaks of it though.
And Canada treats President Trump with disrespect in the CBC press? Little Hollywood in Ottawa is about to get his a$$ handed to him. He earned it.
If you ever want to enjoy a treat, visit the Rockwell Museum in Stockbridge Mass.
