I see, so the Canadians weren't in the Pacific at all until after the European theatre was over?
How was Canada threatened in WWI, I maybe wrong but I believe they were an independant country by then.
Canada may have the British royalty on their currency and stamps, but I would have to say they are thier own country. I would guess Canada has closer ties to the US as a majority of trade is between the US and Canada not Canada and Europe.

I am sure there is a thriving ecosystem up there, but that was not my point.
My point is we are destroying our lands here, Canada may not wish us to destroy theirs. NOR DO WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO. They have the right to say no and we should respect their rights.
