A big thing missing from this post is the size of the countries and their population. Canada and the USA are huge, and better described as a collection of independent states than a single country. The current systems are a result of compromises done to keep the countries together, by giving regions with small populations a say. I'm not saying these compromises turned out well, but you need to acknowledge them to understand the current mess.
Canada’s federal and provincial elections use first-past-the-post.
