It is logical that Germany would be anxious to prepare for the contingency of Americas entrance into the war on the side of the Allies.
And it would be naive to think that every belligerent was not doing something of the sort.
And the frenzy created by Britains friends in the American press over the German Ambassadors inquiry was very effective indeed.
Do you imagine however that England would have enforced Canadian neutrality had the USA supported the Central Powers?

Not sure what you mean by this. In 1914 Canada was as British as the land under Buckingham Palace, and Canada was at war with Germany as soon as the British government in London declared war. The Canadian Parliament and government were not consulted, any more than, say, the Massachusetts government was consulted about declaring war on the Japanese on December 8, 1941. And if the U.S. and the U.K. had gone to war against each other during WWI Canada would have been the front line.
