When the UK declared war on Germany following the invasion of Poland, Canada waited a full week before doing the same. Many people have critizied the Canadian Government for foot draging, or as not showing enough loyality to the British Empire.

It's also been stated that the Canadian Government, not wanting to be seen as simply following the British government lockstep in all matters delayed the declaration of war so to be seen as independent of the Crown.
I've seen the pic Patrick is talking about. A farmer and a team of horses pulling an American aircraft across the border into Canada. The story goes, apparently, that American pilots would fly aircraft to a northern airfield, taxi right up to the border, and the ground crew would tie a rope to the tail wheel and throw the rope across the border. Sometime later, the aircraft would "disappear." "Damn the luck!", the Americans would say, "we've lost another one!"
