    What, exactly, is "the bigger picture"? That someday we'll need the 
US
  to protect us from the baddies?
    Unfortunately we're joined at the hip with that country... our
  proximity to the most despised country in the world is our biggest
  problem. We'll be in the crossfire. (Of course, with Harper at the 
helm,
  and his head up the ass of the US regime... we may take a few direct
  hits. We can thank those who thought Harper running this country would
  be a good idea.)
    Someone mentioned the US being our friend...that would be a
  fairweather friend, imo.
    The US has tried to invade Canada before...and failed every time. 
Now,
  though, they have a huge arsenal - so they could actually succeed
  invading. Hell, they don't even have to send troops - just missiles. 
Our
  natural resources are coveted by the US admins.
    If push came to shove...I've no doubt the US will take what it wants
  from us...regardless how neighbourly we've been.
