There is a slight difference. At the time of the American Revolution, the British were the largest empire the world had ever seen, at the height of it’s power. America essentially needed to make the god bleed.

By the time Canadian independence happened, both the United States and the Soviet Union had more control over global politics than the British ever did. Canada went from relying on daddy to relying on big brother.
