You aren’t wrong.
We’re stuck with the first past the post electoral system which is following the same route of falling into the 2 party trap. Corporations are buying those two parties and they are both further right than I think a lot of Canadians want, but the left leaning parties are a hard option to vote for, out of fear of the rightmost party getting the seat of power.
Trudeau did get elected originally on the promise of electoral reform with the NDP, but that promise was one of many he broke, and who knows how long before we can get it back as a voter issue.
Right now no one can get past the fear of economic uncertainty, which is being used by both the Liberals and Conservatives to ignore things that are much bigger in the long run, like climate change, and electoral stagnation.

I think you’re forgetting some pretty key differences like ICE kidnappings, starting tarriff wars, bombings, etc

You dont’ have the capabilities to do any of that.
Your military has been in shambles for 40 years, you have no border police, and your trade is still mostly natural resources…

Brother I don’t think you realize how much more messed up America is than Canada. No country is perfect but America has been in a state of complete chaos with no signs of slowing. Trump literally threatened genocide and you think you’re on the right side of history lol.

It’s not in chaos dude. You just pay way too much attention to Trump.
What should blow your mind is how despite Trump, our economy remains far better than pretty much every other developed economy… he’s trying really hard to drive it into a ditch and yet it still remains on the road.
