I am tempted to say that if Canada had the GDP and military might of the United States and the United States were a smaller neighbor like Canada is today, then Canada may well have similarly degenerated into the same corporate ****fest we see today in the US.
If this is true, then the behavior of the USG has more to do with the corrupting influence of global capitalism than anything specific about our political system or cuture. But I would probably also want to argue that there are unique things about our country that have made us vulnerable to this. For starters our constitution is way too inflexible.
