Due to my temporary computer problems I cannot actually see the commentary. However, the crazy factor in the us is not terribly high as they only win by a margin of 2.4 percent when they have a flag waving war going on and not much more in off election years.

IF there were a serious move by Canada and America towards closer political ties I think it would shift the long term balance in the United States in the non-crazy direction. For one thing it might mean some meaningful electoral reforms that would prevent the particular brand of crazy from being as effective through gerrymandering.

I think it could also be good for Canada in getting a direct vote in the policies of the nation who's policies have the greatest impact on Canada.

But it would have to be a long term project at both sides coming together rather than just Canada just joining the us or something.
