I am once again asking people who want to make silly jokes about how peaceful, thoughtful Canada pities its weird southern neighbor to learn even a little bit about the consistent violence, disorder, and moral cowardice of Canadian political history that hides under the “your sensible friend” branding. (Note I’m not saying Canada is worse than the US in this way. I’m saying it’s not categorically better.)

Just for example, I think it’s entirely questionable whether there would ever have been a Trump without a Rob Ford and a Stephen Harper.
The rest of the English-speaking world complains about American-style politics, and they are right to do so, but it is not at all a one-way flux. We’re all in this together.
