8 years of Obama and 8 years of Bush might have something to do with it. Also US has Fox news, yes they are controlled opposition but US has at least 1 MSM network that appears as right wing. Canada does not have that. So I reckon the resistance to the establishment known as populism has had a better chance to grow with 1 MSM network having a lot of influence over the years. Also US has a culture and constitution that cares more about individual rights than Canada does, US has this framework that its still built on (1st amendment, 2nd amendment). Lastly, US is just a more patriotic culture that leans center-center right, whereas Canada has been a leftist nation for a very long time.
It's the media that the people consume. Canada has some tremendous and brilliant people, but they have nothing to unite them against increasing ridiculousness. The US got very, very lucky with Trump and I hope Canada finds its way as we still have so much work down south of you all as well.

And that one network has like 50% of the market share.
