It is interesting to see that Canadian apathy has suddenly turned into a united stand for Canada.

American (and Canadian) politicians have fucked over Canada every step of the way for a long as I can remember but it was always done with the thinnest veneer of diplomacy to cover up the absolute disregard for an entire country's population. This is the first time that a politician has been dumb enough to fuck over not only the people of Canada but also it's oligarchs. Canada's ruling class has decided it's ok to revolt against our neighbour's bad behaviour and so it's being spun by the news and politicians as 'Canadian Patriotism.'

edit: I see this is a bit controversial. I'm not saying that it is bad that, right now, Canadians are unified in identifying the bad guy and saying "no, you've gone to far." I'm saying that we should have been saying this for years but our politicians, the rich people who direct them and the media companies that they own, have been actively stopping us up until now.
