I have worked with Canadians for a while, but the past 2-3 years they seem to be more controlling/authoritarian even in the corporate structure. I am in the US, and I am more "here is the outcome we need, achieve that how you like". I think the Canadians I worked with used to be the same way, but now they seem to be more "it needs to be done one way, everywhere, with oversight".
With a global company there are local differences in culture, laws, and priority so the "one way" seems to be a poor fit.
I'm Canadian, have lived all over this country, as well as in the USA, as well as working with Americans for 15+ years. I don't see any recent change in the behaviour of the people I interact with - from either side of the border.
Those over-generalizations of yours don't match my experience in any way. I'm not sure where that perception is coming from, but I see none of that. I think you're drawing correlations from too little data here.
I have seen major changes in politics however, especially as it relates to the progressive left. Perhaps you're seeing a different shift at play.
