"a country made up of citizens who's lineage spans the globe"
i think you answered your own question there. and it's worth pointing out that your reasoning, if applied to WW2, would have been a pretty bad situation. the "police the world" line was never as good as it sounded, as its reasoning is wholly flawed. if the US doesn't protect its allies, then they're not allies. if the US doesn't protect its own interests, then they're the first country *ever* to ignore this basic tenant of being a nation. none of this has anything to do with a so-called "policing the world."
as for canada not needing the USA's protection - that's both flawed and subject to an interesting fact. first, it's flawed in that canada most certainly relies on the US for economic reasons. second, it's subject to the fact that canada is quite capable militarily of protecting itself, having a good track record of kicking some serious ass in international war games.
