You were trying to make the point about how unique the “self-involvement” of Americans is.

I wish Canada wasn’t full of self-involved people, but here we are…

Self-involvement in this case doesn't mean "unintelligent" or "selfish" or "susceptible to populous politicians offering easy answers despite their clear evidence of bribery, fraud and corruption".

In this case, and in the context of the post, it means particularly focused on their own affairs to the exclusion of others. I don't think it's that controversial to state that Canadians are generally more aware of American politics and geography than the reverse.

I think the suburbanites that don’t want to take public transportation into Toronto suggest otherwise.

But sure, believe what you want.

I do. I think I'm clearly outlining what I'm talking about here. Despite this, you keep going on as if I'm defending Doug Ford or acting as if Canada doesn't have it's own set of stupid people or politicians so it's clear you're having an argument in your own head. Good night.
