On Canadian 'anti Americanism'

[Torie]

Thanks for the essay. I don't think Americans think about Canada much, and probably would not mind much,  and would kind of understand, if Canada feels overshadowed and resentful of its behemoth neighbor to the south.

I assume Canada is aware that if NAFTA were repealed, and replaced with a trade war with Canada, its standard of living would decrease by a substantial amount.

The whole notion of the advanced industrial democracies viewing each other as threats to their individual nation states, economically or culturally, seems dated to me. In all events, it is as wrong headed as it has ever been.
