Is it weird to be an American interested in Canadian news?

Like it or not, what happens in America ripples through the whole world. Doubly so in Canada because we share a very long border.

Our politicians especially tend to follow the trends that politicians down there set; to the point where we have our own little mini-DeSantis running for Prime Minister.

What's the Canadian equivalent of Florida?

Unfortunately Saskatchewan (my province). Alberta next door is Texas, and Saskatchewan wants to be like them, but our government is far far dumber.

Our Mini-Desantis is Pierre Pollieve.

our own little mini-DeSantis

the one who wants to de-fund the CBC so that Canadians can consume even less Canadian news.
