Canada and the US have been close allies for 200 years. The last time they fought was 1812

Not 200 years. The last major conflict was the War of 1812 but relations weren't rosy until the Great Rapprochement starting around 1895. The period inbetween saw the Fenian Raids, Patriots' War, Britain's tacit support of the Confederacy and the Trent Affair, and disputes around the Oregon Country and Alaska border. Hell, Confederation happened mostly because of fears of the US's growing power after its civil war.
