Superman's early strips were actually pro-public/social policies. Anyone who didn't realize Superman was highly political must've missed out on Jerry Siegel's earliest strips. He pretty much fights bankers and profiteers for the early decades. He's anti-big business.
Well, Canada is a part of North America. But anyways, while I sometimes appreciate the correlation of comic events and real events, I think sometime it goes way too far. Issues of war and protest just feel weird when you start adding super powered beings to the mix. A 'peak' level human is one thing, but someone who can fly or lift 100 tons...melt tanks with their minds or whatever...it all picks apart my suspension of disbelief.
I prefer my super heroes fighting super villains. They can have moral or ethical conflict as well, but also prefer for that to be contained within a smaller societal circle. I know it's a matter of preference, but too many worldy events in comics just expose the naivety of the daily lives of super heroes.
