I think that has more to do with our uninspired choice of political figures than it does with our interest in the US government.
We haven't had a leader in a long time that has been able to inspire the Canadian people, let alone instill a general sense of trust that they have the best intentions for all Canadians in mind. Our "leaders" seem to care more about how much power they and their parties have, and don't spend enough time looking at the big picture of what's happening to Canada.
I have to admit that I'm a little jealous of the States that they have someone coming to power that is instilling this much hope in the citizens. I just feel sorry for the man because, barring some kind of miracle, he's not going to be able to live up to the hype.
