Not so true anymore… Canadian mass-market beers might still be slightly better than their American counterparts (though the big Canadian breweries seem to be owned by the same multinational conglomerates as the big American ones), but as of my last visit to Canada (two years ago) the craft beer scene there was still far behind what it is here. So, while the average Canadian might drink better beer than the average American, I think the case (of 24 bottles, please) could be made that the discerning American has access to a better selection of really good beer.
