Canada seems to be getting along pretty well without buying US military technology. I don't see where that would be a problem.

We could possibly dicker a little on the providing access to the coast issue. Of course, the US would still have Oregon and Washington, but that's a long trip if you're headed for Hawaii or Asia.

There's also the matter of a dozen or so U.S. military bases, Vandenberg and Beal top-security Air Force Bases and ports which house the lion's share of America's Pacific Fleet. If the U.S. wants continued access, I imagine we'd be cooperative... for a generous rental agreement. :lol:

I hear Cuba doesn't accept payment for Guantanamo. Being capitalists, we'd have a different approach to the issue.
