The names are different, and the main difference is really that the cabinet is not picked out of anyone by the Prime Minister, but that they are elected MPs, but that hardly changes anything. Again, yes there are differences, but they are minor on the grand scale, unless you are a Canadian with an inferiority complex, then it is a massive difference.

This country has far too many problems to be worrying about the US like we do. Over time it has allowed our leaders to get off the hook on the crap they pull and it has taken away from pressing issues here. Imagine if we were really friend's what we could accomplish. One day books and essays will be written on the partnership that was wasted between Canada and the US because of the insecurities of jealous and irrational people.
