I find it interesting to look at how differing political systems lends itself to a very different political landscape in both Canada and the United States.
 The United States is very much set in a two party system, and while in Canada only the two main parties (liberals and conservatives) have ever won a federal election, there are other major parties in play.
Canada has several different parties in play in any given election, and there are usually decently big swings in support election to election. In addition, the regional party Bloc Quebecois plays a big role in government, with no comparable party in the United States.


Also, if you look at Canadian election map, you can clearly see four different colors. (although the orange party (NDP) has a lot less seats, they just have seats that cover a lot of territory, also teal is only a Quebec party)

coverage of Canadian election that just occurred.

However, my main point is that there is a massive difference in the level of election coverage in the United States and Canada.
Part of this could be due to the fact that Canada is a much smaller country than the United States is. However, I would argue that most of the differences in level of election coverage is due to the nature of how the government is elected and how the Government is run in the Canadian parliamentary system.
There is also a massive difference in the level of attention given to the election.
The Canadian federal election was not being covered one year ago almost at all. In contrast, the American election cycle is massive. Huge attention is given to Presidential candidates now already!! A whole year in advance of the actual election.
Much more money is spent of American elections. Additionally, Americans vote for two houses during the elections. Canadians do not vote for their Senate.
Also, Canadians do not vote for their Prime Minister directly, they vote for their party in their local "riding".
(According to Canadian scholar Cooper Robert Pryde, the Canadian Senate is an anachronistic institution. I am not so sure.)
