I am sure that Canada entered the war immediately the British Empire did, namely 11 pm 4th August 1914. The US were I believe never actually allies of the Allies so to speak but CO-COMBATANTS. I regret to say that whilst Canada had entered the second war in September 1939, the US were hamstrung by the Neutrality Acts and it took a huge effort in Congress to have them amended to allow "Cash and Carry" for military sales. There was a substantial and vocal electorate including "Lindy" Lindbergh that totally opposed anything that might bring the US into the "European War". It was of course Hitler that declared war on the US after Pearl Harbor, not the other way around.

On this side of the Pond we can see that the electorate in the US are becoming if not already ant-French, saying that they should be grateful for help in two world wars, etc. This because of the anti-war stance. It is a fact that there is a substantial minority if not a majority opposed to war in the UK now.
