No. I have no proof for my answer other than drinking the US brew one day and the Canadian brew the next, and noticing a difference in taste. The methods may be the same but the taste is different (and the bottle too, taller skinnier US bottle)

No. This is a myth that was started when the alcohol content in Canadian beer was measured by volume and American beer was measured by weight. It may technically not be stronger, but it is without a shadow of a doubt far better than American beer.
Labatt brewing company brews the Budweiser brand in London,ON Edmonton,AL Toronto,ON Montreal,PQ Halifax,NS or St.John's,NB. Which location exactly brews the brand I'm not to sure but it will be at one of these places.
All beer sold in the US and Canada must state the alcohol percentage by volume (ABV) on the bottle. Some US states don't allow beers to be stronger than a certain amount -- others insist on them being called "malt beverage" if they exceed a percentage.
Some Canadian beers are just relabeled US beers. An example is Blue Moon in the US and Rickards White in Canada. Identical beer and so identical ABV.
The strongest Canadian beer I've tried so far was 11% ABV, the Three Musketeers microbrewery Extreme Series Weizenbock 2009. Best bang for the buck ever? Taste-wise, I'd say so. ABV makes little difference if what you're drinking tastes like paint thinner, but the Weizenbock is fabulous.
So the short answer is, no, there's no more alcohol in Canadian beer. Look at the label to see how strong a specific beer is.
