Morning! Andrew your excellent segment is indeed up here: https://www.kuow.org/stories/will-the-relationship-between-us-and-canada-recove and starts when there is 13:23 left in the segment (their player indicates the time left, not the time elapsed). It's satisfying (in a very sad way) that US approval has plunged to new lows, and I echo the sentiment that it's not American individuals targeted by this ire, but the American government.
Also that is indeed a fabulous video that you put together :P (to others: watch to the end for a hilarious throwback to Canadian television)
To be fair to you, mrsunshinebaby 'followers' most likely include a very high number of bots and fake accounts. It's a tactic of far right media (as I'm sure you know). Impressions are also likely bought, which is common across the political spectrum. It's super cheap to do and extremely common for influencers to engage with impression companies.
The fact that you haven't heard of this person is that bots/fake accounts don't push messages much further outside the bubble they exist in. Being a 'household' name still remains a credible metric for determining if some sort of 'influencer' is actually legit and carries true weight and influence.
Ultimately people like this are accountable to no one and their questionable messages are continually embraced by the weak minded....and now our own low-end elected officials.

And one more note: the link to Cori's blog post goes to the Canada goose story - looks like her post is here: https://coriramsay.ca/2025/03/04/provincial-budget-2025/
