I think this needs a stronger hook. Something like "country X", know for it's politeness, is accused of "y", Now the gloves are coming off. Okay, that's not great, but hopefully it makes the point of how a stronger hook might get more attention.

I agree with Gregory, don't ask what if.. something happens and because of that, there is conflict and stakes. You mentioned its told through the eyes of a Canadian woman - what is "her" story? interesting idea/concept - but like Brandon Sanderson says "ideas are cheap." whats the story. :)
