Yes, how dare a Canadian news site reports on the politics of the enormously powerful country we share a border with. They should know that nothing that happens in America has ever affected Canadians.

I think what OP is complaining about is the use of the term "Senate" without clarifying that it's in fact the United States Senate. Although it's pretty clear from context if you know anything about world affairs.

A Canadian public broadcaster should use the term to refer to the Senate of Canada, unless specified otherwise. I don't think we should have a Senate, but we do, and as long as we do that is The Senate.

Why do they have to report on Texas politics?

Shouldn't they report primarly on US States such as Maine, Washington, or Montana ?

Does UK news only report on France and Ireland? Are you very young, or can't you reason this out?

What? Because there are pages of global politics?

If you only want Canadian news, maybe go to the Canada section of CBC News, not the front page.

You're gonna need more context if you desire upvotes and/or engagement of a more constructive variety.

What part of this even makes that connection?
