It is the US. In the future, the power will be shared with powerhouse China. Nowhere in the picture will there be Canada - never was or will be.

Thank-you-
Your post provides an example of why many people do not like the US right now.
The whole "We don't care how you feel" and "We don't, by and large, care to know who runs ______ (fill in country)" it is actually that attitude itself that grates on most people in other countries...
Oh and most Canadians don't care to be a "Super-Power"; thats why we disbanded the worlds second largest navy following world war two; declined to make nuclear weapons (although the US left some here in case we ever changed our mind); and threw our support behind the UN, because we laboured under the assumption that world peace benifits everyone... go figure.. and to cut you off, I stopped caring about your views of the UN because quite frankly your bias is thick as a glass of Guinness...
