Heart of Gold alone would be a lifetime achievement for many musicians and it’s just one of the many greats Young has produced. All subjective for sure but as a musician of 25 years that was taught by a guy who taught the Beatles I’m pretty sure my view of Neil Young and his musical accomplishments is more in line with reality.

Why does he need Canadians validation? He moved like most artists...to be closer to the what inspires him or help continue to develop his creative talent. He said it himself ""...the sounds I liked were coming from California." And just because he was born in Canada does not necessary make him a Canadian artist.
