Was there a point you wished to make about the difference?
The US Fed rate is 3.5-3.75% vs 2.25% for BoC. The US 5 year bond yield is about 4% vs 3.2% for GoC 5 year bond. It seems to me to be about the right spread.

Saving is an art. What else do you see here?
Yes. I have been noting the C$ U$ differences on several posts now.
(On 2nd thought) Yet among the banks/CUs on the GIC comparison chart, I don't know how many offer U$ GICs. Therefore, the flip side of my question ... What else is missing? Why?

Nothing that has been known by everyone(?) for many months I suspect. Hence the reason I asked the question, i.e. is there something new you wished to inform the forum on to dedicate a thread to?
P.S. The discount brokerages have similar CAD-USD GIC yield spreads
