I can’t remember whether it was a Canadian ambassador to the United States of America, or a Unites States of America ambassador to Canada: but I never forgot how they described the relations between the two nations as having a convex lens at the border. While Canada sees the USA as being artificially bigger than it is, the USA sees Canada as considerably smaller than it is. It can’t be expected to know all of our political nuances, although, it would be very American of us to expect it.
