The Canadians didn't have any trouble identifying and
resenting us. 

Note that a lot of Americans move to Canada for other than
political reasons; that was true during the war, as well as
before and after.  The idea that one can escape imperial
Capital now seems charmingly naive to me.  One has such
dreams in one's youth.
