Its funny, yet sad, to read about all of this back and forth about a US President. I've been lucky enough to live in 5 countries, 3 in Europe and in Canada and the US. In all of this and all of my travels, I'm certain that no country obsesses more about another country than Canada does with the US. I understand that geographically we are located right next to each other, I understand that culturally we have been similar in the past (though some significant differences are appearing, I understand that are are dominated by them in both population and economy - but Ireland doesn't obsess with the UK in the same manner, Holland doesn't obsess with Germany in the same manner, Austria doesn't obsess with Germany in the same manner, Switzerland doesn't obsess with France/Germany/Italy in the same manner. We have an dependency issue that we need to address.
