The Canadian political system has two big advantages over the US and neither has anything to do with the parliamentary system.

(1) In Canada there is no gerrymandering. Election Canada which is a non-partisan organization and has representatives from all major parties decides on district boundaries (and runs the elections). So you are not going to have stupid arguments over one party's cronies overruling a sensible approach just so they can win.

(2) There are firewalls between federal and provincial parties. For all the talk of state's rights and what not in the US, the political parties in each state are joined at the hip with their national organization. In Canada it is very common for the people to vote for conservatives in provincial elections and liberals in the national one and keep the two separate. Donations to your provincial party are off limits to the national one and vice versa. Nor are the local and federal sides of the same party always chummy with each other. This is not the case in the US.
