'Supermajority' doesn't actually mean anything in Canada either, right?

No, and it's worth noting that Canada has a fairly powerful Prime Minister's office.

Exactly, it's an Americanism and it's dumb to see it being used in parliamentary democracies now. 'Landslide' actually makes sense because nobody thinks that it actually means a more powerful type of majority, just a bigger one.
