I just learned recently that when the Fathers of Confederation were writing the constitution, Canada's original name was suppose to be "Kingdom of Canada." But we changed the name because it may offend Americans.
It is a little piece of history but it speaks to the tension between Canada and the United States.
We can see this with Canada-US border issues, Vietnam, having missile defense systems in our country, Arbtic sovereignty, and the history of free trade which honestly goes back to before Confederation.
Can anyone else think of a incident of Canada-US tension that is not well publicized?
