Canada has a very "vanilla" global reputation and as such very few people have any hostility towards Canada and Canadians.
Rightly or wrongly you can't say that about the U.S. and consequently those who carry its passports.
Living in the U.S. is a whole other story of course. Many of those people abroad who hate Americans and the U.S. (and would mistreat you based on your passport) would jump at the chance to move tot the U.S. if they could.

Your passport isn't taped to your forehead as you travel around foreign countries, it's purely a method of entry. How does anyone know your Canadian and not American once you pass through customs?
Measuring passport strength is usually done by assessing the number countries that can be entered without a visa. The most developed Asian countries rank at the top of the list (Japan, Korea, Singapore), and the U.S. is still above Canada.
