I don’t really understand what your point is. Do you mean our election campaigns don’t last 4 years? Y’all could plan to book voting day off 20 years in advance because it’s not a surprise, ours can pop up any time with a month’s notice. And by importance do you mean our PM generally doesn’t have the power to crater the world economy in a matter of days? Or are you saying ours are more important because we vote for the entire government on 1 day and you just pick one guy?
I don’t think non-Canadians know how angry we have to be to boo a national anthem. We’d cheer for the North Korean anthem if they sent a hockey team for us to play against.
Voting isn’t a holiday in Canada either but we make it work. Vote early, vote by mail. You can use whatever excuse makes you feel better but taking an hour or 2 out of your day once every 4 years is a small price to pay for democracy.
I might be the only Canadian brave enough to say this, but I don’t think y’all are going hard enough on the tariffs. Too many countries have taken advantage of you. You need to slap a minimum 100% tariff on all these countries ASAP:

If you do this, your government will collect more money than it’s ever seen and all your problems will be solved.
No they’re too big, instantly doubling the population wouldn’t go well. At most a Euro style partnership if a few more western states broke off.
