Canada, like the UK overall, paid an enormous price in WWII. I think the generations which came after just kind of silently vowed they were done with that.

With UK, I think there is a point past which they will not allow themselves to be pushed. I think the Falklands proved that. And they don't have the angst that the Germans have. They just sent the best of two generations off to be slaughtered in two world wars, and it has taken a while to recover. Somewhere down inside, they still believe very firmly that, "Britons never, never, never, never shall be slaves."

I'm not sure Canada has the same resolve. I do think Australia does.
