Am not sure I follow your point about moral matters. Let me put it this way, though: we pay a higher cost for the moral high ground -- look at the reaction of people like Cousin Bill to Chrétien's caution about going to war with Iraq. It's a simple fact of geopolitics that the US has substantial economic control over Canada, and that limits our "level ground" choices. It doesn't eliminate them, just makes them more expensive.
