If somebody told me that my country's protector was somebody from another country, I'd feel like a second-class citizen in my own nation; I'd wonder why one of our own people weren't good enough to be the protector of our great nation! It wouldn't make me feel warm and cozy, it'd be like sand stuck in my shorts; the longer it sat there without being fixed, the worse it would feel.
So you're saying that as a Canadian you can only look up to, admire and aspire to like other Canadians?
And that if World War Three broke out now Canada shouldn't ally themselves with any other nation and wouldn't want to be helped/protected by another?

But this is allllllllllllllll getting off-course....
