A agree, USA was a surprise to most, but I think you need a little more data to show me where the votes would come from.  And Canada doesn't have a legacy or tradition of individualism that can always rear its head in USA, Canadians are much more groupthink-y and go along with the overall program.  Plus the media in Canada is very concentrated vs USA - this paper, the Star and CBC have huge influence on a national level.  And look at the influence of CBC in Canada vs PBS (USA doesn't even have a domestic CBC-equivalent) in USA in terms of its influence on the population. But we'll see, you may be right.
