In all honesty now, where would Canada be without US as its main trading partner ? Just like China, Canada basically relies on the US to buy all their stuff. Take Canada away and the US would be just fine. Take the US away and Canada would turn third world in a decade.
Also don't forget that Canada can 'afford' their healthcare and other socialist crap because they don't have to pay for their own security. The big boys with guns down south make sure the Russians aren't simply taking the far north.
Finally, the guns debate in the US is not strictly about guns but rather about the ability of an individual to NOT rely on his government for anything, including his own protection. This independent attitude, this risk-taking mentality is what made and still makes the US the #1 country in the world. Being the only superpower isn't an accident.
