Actually no, we were Upper Canada and Lower Canada, part of British North America.
The funny thing about American politics towards Canada is that we as a country have actually benefitted by extreme American policy.
For example the United Empire Loyalists that came to Canada after the American revolution were some of the best people the USA had. They came here and helped forge a nation.
During the Vietnam war, something like 100,000 Americans immigrated to Canada. Most of them highly educated, productive individuals. There was an article in the Globe and Mail a few years back detailing some of the brilliant Americans who came to Canada during the 60's and 70's and went on to better our society. Doctors, engineers, writers, researchers. Most never returned the US having put down roots here.
Thanks guys.
You guys need to start another draft to put guys over in the middle east war zone so we can brain drain you once again.
