Better economy? Check
Better health care? Check
Less violence? Check
Less debt? Check
More functioning government? Check
3 month election cycles versus 4 year cycles? Check
Better human rights? Check
More respected internationally? Check
No Donald Trump? Check

Americans have the edge in the superficial (entertainment, sports etc...), but otherwise there isn't much where Canada is inferior to America. If anything Canadians are guilty of looking down at Americans a lot, which is indicative of a superiority complex.
How about being a country that the rest of the world actually cares about? Canada is a great country, better than most in many ways, but let's not pretend that we aren't still a small player globally and that the US is anything but Goliath.
