US Citizenship may have once been a prestigous thing, but now it's met with a sort of elitism that suggests Americans are inferior (stupid, boorish, backward etc). In my experience living here the differences between Canada & the US are grossly exaggerated and many countries respect Canada much more. I think the well calibrated view would give America more credit for the role it's played/playing globally.
