Granted, nearly all of my Canadian friends live in one of the larger cities, so they almost never have a domestic connection prior to U.S. preclearance...
Canada is IMO too accomodating and deferent. It's more to do with power and sovereignty... Canada always succumbs to bullying, but so is the rest of the world, like all the places that have US military bases.
