You guy can't recognize your own cultural traits in media when they're right in front of you!
another good example of highly canadian oriented content sold successfully globally would be 'The Corporation', which explains how evil american corporations ruined the world (no other countries have corporations), bowling for columbine (since Moore is from Michigan and has that scene with visiting Americans marvelling at the beautitude of Windsor Ontario, also mass shootings only happen in the US)..I could probably think of a couple others.
Non-annoying examples would be Heavy Metal, the greatest Canadian movie.

Are you claiming it’s part of the Canadian identity to obsess about petty details of American politics? There is no “liberal left” in the US? There is no “Native American hero” mythology?
I’m pretty sure Canadian-American has a very different identity and outlook of regular Canadians.
