Thanks for the response, it seems like a fair analogy to me. I have no experience with the Scottish economy so I appreciate the insight. It would seem a symbiotic relationship if the goods being imported to the US were of vital importance, otherwise I agree Canada would be the one dependent. But if the goods were vital to US interests you could flip that sentence to read The US is much more dependent on the goods from Canada than vice versa, which would put Canada in the position of power.
