For all the cry how fucked up US is doing, we might want to really think whether we are actually doing anything better than them if everything else being equal (test rates, health care capacity... etc)

If you take out the worst parts of our neighbouring states, we are doing just as bad!
That's not how it works though. You don't get to pick and choose random parts of one comparison to another comparison to make things look better or worse. Thats called manipulating statistics, and it's nothing more than a fancy way of lying.
I know you love to choose to ignore facts to support your argument but per capita 3x more people are dying in the US than Canada. If you want to just start removing states and cities from the US' numbers you need to remove the comparable provinces and cities from Canadian statistics.
