Not even close and you well know that. As far as Alaska, if push came to shove we would not need your "say-so" at all. Now on to the military aspect, Canada, in an of itself, is not a military power. Anyone that chose to invade you would have it done in a day. That is not disrespecting the Canadian military at all. You folks just do not have the firepower or equipment to actually defend yourself.
The world needs to move on from American leadership.

In terms of the absolute value of aid given, the United States is the world’s top donor by far.

Canada? Not so much.

Lets be clear, the world would overwhelmingly side with Canada over the US in any conflict. Except maybe Israel and Saudi Arabia (partners I'd rather Canada not overly associate with anyway). Regardless, America is no longer the manufacturer it was. I rarely buy American products. The world is moving on, and most of the trade (like 70-80%) will happen outside of America's sphere of influence. The future of trade is Asia.

Are you an idiot or haven't Canadians been taught about planes and ships?

The comic book Canadian says they don't, but when challenged to prove his assertion, he apparently cannot.
I think I know why.

Says who, miniseries maven?
You are a bit delusional there. Along the lines of psychotic. Canada is the redheaded stepchild of the world. Never forget that. As far as trade, apparently you have not bothered to look it up, or maybe you did and that is why you are avoiding it.
Canada imports 75% of its trade to the U.S., has been that way a very long time. If the U.S. told you folks tomorrow to get lost, you would sink in a hurry. There really is not much world trade for Canadian products.

Has "the world" chosen and sided "with Iran over America", miniseries maven?
Provide the proof or it's not the truth, comic book Canadian.
Meh, I'd never visit another country without signifying that I'm Canadian. Even in America, people give us money just for being awesome and well-liked. 'Hey, are you from Canada? We LOVE Canadians. Here's a ten dollar chip for the slots.'
America is a vital trading partner, but in recent years not a reliable one and the future of trade is not with America anyways. I'm thinking long-term. America is not the world's future, and that's probably close to a fact.

Canada was the United States' 1st largest goods export market in 2016.
U.S. goods exports to Canada in 2016 were $266.0 billion, down 5.2% ($14.6 billion) from 2015 but up 15.3% from 2006.
The top export categories (2-digit HS) in 2016 were: vehicles ($48 billion), machinery ($ 40 billion), electrical machinery ($24 billion), mineral fuels ($16 billion), and plastics ($12 billion).
U.S. exports of agricultural products to Canada totaled $23 billion in 2016, our largest agricultural export market. Leading categories include: prepared food ($1.9 billion), fresh vegetables ($1.8 billion), fresh fruit ($1.6 billion), snack foods ($1.3 billion), and non-alcoholic beverages (ex. juices) ($1.2 billion).
U.S. exports of services to Canada were an estimated $54.2 billion in 2016, 4.0% ($2.3 billion) less than 2015, but 43.1% greater than 2006 levels. It was up roughly 218% from 1993 (pre-NAFTA). Leading services exports from the U.S. to Canada, in 2015, were in the travel, intellectual property (software and audio-visual), and transportation sectors.

"'Hey, are you from Canada? We LOVE Canadians. Here's a ten dollar chip for the slots.'", while they give everyone else a $100 chip (that whole redheaded stepchild thing).. anyway, the future of trade may not be with the United States, the future protection of Canada may not be relying on the United States, however in the here and now, and certainly for the foreseeable future it is.

They give you chips for the slot; because they know that you're to poor to have your own.
