I don’t have a particular axe to grind with Canada one way or the other. My position in a question like this would be “Why isn’t the Canadian Prime Minister considered here.”

It really isn’t Canada’s business here. They can hope, wish, pray for someone other than Obama, but that’s the limit for me.

Of course Canadians can't have a direct say in who we elect any more than the reverse would be proper.However,the relationship between the two countries is more important than many Americans realize.We take Canada for granted...it's a small country that doesn't threaten us in any way,unlike our other next door neighbor.But consider the trading relationship (huge,by my understanding) and consider how our friendly neighborly relations make defending North America so much more effective.The US doesn't have many genuine friends in the world but of the few we have Canada,Britain and Australia are probably the most valuable...even though we don't agree on every single issue.
