I've spent quite a bit of time living in Canada. They definitely live in the shadow of the USA and know it.
Imagine sharing a room with a twin brother who grew up to be the larger than the life football team captain. He brings home chicks at night. His buddies come in the room and call you shrimp and mess with your shit. They smoke in the room. They spill beer on your bed. They shave your eyebrows and draw dicks on your face with magic marker.
The major cities of Canada are their own methlabs. Vancouver and Montreal are toxic hellholes. Toronto still has mixed charm, but it definitely has a streets where fentanyl has completely taken over.
If you get into the areas outside the major cities (where I spent most of my time)... that's where you find those quaint cozy homes. However, they are all in deep trouble with their youth. I met some amazing young people while I was there but most of the youth I dealt with were living lives like they were on permanent spring break in Ft Lauderdale. Sad.

It matters to them who is running this country.
I always describe Canada as the cozy second floor apartment above a meth lab
