Hmmm....I wouldn't say they are uninformed.
Disinterested, for sure. Even Canadians could not care less about Canadian politics. It's all rather boring.
The same leaders of the parties as last time. The same result (a conservative minority.) The only real news is that the Liberal leader (Stephane Dion) has been shown the door by the Liberal party bigwigs. Some other stooge will take his place, and we will have the same dance in 4 years, or sooner.
I don't really give a squat about Guatemalan politics, why should Americans care about Canadian politics? Canada is the quiet, reserved neighbour at the end of the cul-de-sac. You say "Hi!' while jogging, but otherwise, they don't exist.
Canadians, on the other hand, love American politics, movies, music, and their products. They are loathe to admit it, but the US is foremost in their minds. Those noisy, gauche, having-too-much-fun neighbours that you resent, but wish to be.
