That's kinda the problem bud, we ARE a separate country. Just because you might not have to get on a plane doesn't mean crossing the Canadian border isn't international travel (necessitating your passport).
It's the attitude like this that has fed the "might as well become a state" rhetoric. We quite literally are a foreign country because we're not part of theirs. Unless Americans only use the word foreign to mean scary/nonwhite.
