another problem for Canada, and to an extent the US
if a Canadian or American born player is world class, they are more likely to play for another country through their ancestry. Look at Hargreaves playing for England, or recently Guiseppe Rossi playing for Italy instead of the US.
Both would be far and away the best players for their countries but why play for Canada or the US when realistically the highest thing you can achieve is a gold cup. And may never have the chance to play in a the world cup, or the Euros
