America can be a great place and American's can be great people. Politically however, they're a bigger bunch of hypocrites than any of their buddies at the Shangai Cooperation Organisation, whom they love to criticize.
Sorry, your landscapes are nowhere near as diverse as the States. One of many examples, the Southwest here is some of the most diverse and gorgeous pieces of land anywhere in the world. You do not have anything like that. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Canada. I think Victoria is one of the most overrated places in your country but Banff is just amazing. Now THAT is one landscape you could argue. I also weirdly find myself enthralled with your Northern Territories. I also hear Nova Scotia is pretty great too. Other than that, perhaps start another thread and show us what you think is great about the landscape of Canada.

This thread again!
I'm not a US citizen, but I can say that it's physically the most diverse and beautiful country I have seen. I cannot think of any other country that has as much variety of landscape scenery on such an epic level.

Well, probably because it is...at least natural beauty wise!
This, from just 3 states, there's another 47 to consider!

Yes, I am an official USA fan!
Thank you for this lovely compliment. Now get out and go back home you red coat!!
I'm reminded of going up to northern CA to visit some family. While eating breakfast at a diner, we over heard some kid say, "Other than Disneyland, California is only ok." That got my mom to buy a bumper sticker, "Welcome to California, now go home."

Yes there is a lot of beauty here. But to me, the "best" is subjective. Asia, in particular, China has some of the most beautiful natural landscapes that I've ever seen.

This is both, sad, funny and so, so true. But when you remind them of something that they think that you don't know, they humble themselves.

Canada is indeed beautiful, but it's not as diverse. From Hawaii to Alaska, Florida to Montana, the Great Plains and deserts, the types of formations, etc. The US simply covers a greater range of diversity. I can't think of another country that has it all the way we do. As beautiful, yes, as diverse in it's beauty, no.

+1
There is beauty everywhere...but there is definitely diversity here.

This is an image I dreamed of visiting as a kid and finally got a chance to bring some models with me earlier this year, so shameless plug: 18+
Gorgeous images. Nothing better than the southwest desert landscape to bring some amazing images. Those others are drool-worthy, too. Good selection to make your case, for sure.
