You ought to read the difference between parliamentary system (those countries you listed) and presidential system.

Parliamentary system. Leaders chosen by parties. No direct vote, only for local representative.

I'm talking actual results and you know it. Start backing up your misinformation with links.

No misinformation. You are comparing apples and oranges. Politicians would conduct their campaigns differently if the popular vote actually mattered in places like the US and Canada. Voter behavior would also be very different.  So using it as any kind of actual important evidence of anything is useless.  

 

You could also try to make points by saying that Trump won 2,500 counties in the US election, but Biden won less than 500.  It would matter exactly the same because how counties vote is irrelevant and the election is not fought on that basis.

 

It is  a cheap and irrelevant way to try and score political points.  

 

Oh, and here is the election result from Canada in 2019. Trudeau won  while losing the popular vote. Same in 2021.
