Compared to Australia and Canada the US has done much better to preserve liberal democratic norms and (vs Canada, I don't know about Australian politics) has a functional system that lets voters toss out a government that they don't like.

As far as Canada having less lattitude in political orientation it's a simple result of the Canadian electorate being pretty close in opinion to one of the big three (except in Québec, but there are other parties there).
