It seems that Canadians are facing another crucial decision – whether to stand by their nation’s interests and aims or to indulge in the glitz of the Super Bowl. This question appears more challenging than selecting a flavor of popcorn. The U.S. political tactics might be perplexing, but Canadians have grown accustomed to being overlooked. As for the Super Bowl, Canadians have shifted from a lukewarm attitude towards ‘Canada Day? Ew’ to a passionate embrace of ‘This is a hot new show, and you should check it out.’ The rapid changes in the American news cycle, from trade wars to luxury battlefield condos, have left Canadians confused and indifferent. Even children seem to be more aware of tariffs than their cultural identity. It’s fascinating how Canadians can effortlessly name the capital of Idaho as Boise, yet they struggle to differentiate between St. John’s and Saint John, despite having visited both for work and leisure. This perhaps explains the popularity of the Super Bowl in Canada while the nation’s own superhero movie remains untouchable.
