It's very weird to describe nextdoor neighbors as husband-and-wife.

Canadians can't "divorce" the US, because we're "married" in any real sense. We're stuck next to each other for geographic reasons, not romantic ones.

    I think a better analogy is the US is a bully of an older brother.

    nah better analogy is the US is the crack smoking racist downstairs neighbour that complains we make too much noise.

    A downstairs neighbour is too impersonal. It's relatively easy and consequence free to just ignore them or move away.

    If we narrow my analogy to teenage brothers, it works even better. You are pretty much forced to actively deal with a older brother if you are both still living with your parents, whether you want to or not, and there's nothing you can do to get out of it.
