The idea that Canada might be better off joined to our continental Republic, reversing the historic defeat of Montgomery and Arnold, opens up a controversial perspective on national identity.
Today, Canadian sentiment is extremely cool to the idea of being part of a Greater United States, with polls revealing only about 10 percent of Canadians supporting such membership.
Canadian identity is so bound up in absolutely not being the U.S.A. that 'we're not American' is literally the first thing Justin Trudeau came up with to explain Canadian pride.
Trudeau's rule may be remembered as the period when not-Americanness finally ceased to be a plausible basis for a nation-state, abandoning both Canada's Anglo-Protestant past and cautious multiculturalism.
