I kinda gotta agree with Phaenx. What is there to pay attention to? Granted, im about as far away from Canada as you can get and probably know much more about Mexico's political affairs than Canada's.
But as far as i can tell, while you are a large land mass, and you are our neighbors, there isn't a whole lot to be interested in. It seems to me, that as a whole, Canada isn't active enough politically, militarily or whatever in the world to warrant our attention. Aside from trade with the US, Canada just isn't a strong enough force to matter what your opinions are. Be honest, if Canada doesn't like whats going on someplace else in the world, does it really make that big of a difference to anyone? Its not like your known for your strong military either....
If your politics dont make enough of a global impact to be in the news, well, practically ever, then there is no reason to expect American's to go spend their time learning all the intricacies of your culture.
Sure, you may all know about us, but come on, with as big of an impact as our politics make to the rest of the world...you kinda have to pay attention to what we are doing.
And as someone else said, its kinda like Mexico. As a whole what does a Canadian citizen know about mexico? Probably nothing. Why? Because Mexico makes almost no difference in your day to day living. Thats pretty much how Canada is to us... or at least to me.
