Each country has its strengths and weaknesses. It is not a matter of being better or worse ... we are just different from each other. It is important to be proud of your own country, and that doesn't require any particular attitude toward another country. This poem says it all ....
Breathes there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said,
This is my own, my native land!
Whose heart hath ne’er within him burned,
As home his footsteps he hath turned
From wandering on a foreign strand!
If such there breathe, go, mark him well;
For him no minstrel raptures swell;
High though his titles, proud his name,
Boundless his wealth as wish can claim
Despite those titles, power, and pelf,
The wretch, concentred all in self,
Living, shall forfeit fair renown,
And, doubly dying, shall go down
To the vile dust from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unhonored , and unsung.
from The Lay of the Last Minstrel by Sir Walter Scott who was neither American nor Canadian.

Canada is better at Hockey. Is there even an American Hockey Player? America has a better anthem. But its impossible to sing.

That's not a fair question as you did not specify ... better at what? We are different countries and but we are constantly trying to maintain our own identities. One doesn't necessarily have to be better than the other! Questions like this promote conflict and even hate... shame on anyone who answers it without an informed opinion. I am Canadian and I do not have to state what country, anywhere in the world, I like or dislike in order to say that! I am, therefore, I am!

I don't. I think both places have their pros and cons.
