Probably a dumb question. Why would you prefer US stocks? For long term investors who have 5 years time horizon, I think buying non-US dollar denominated assets should have higher returns.

Down the road and if inflation catches up, US dollar is going to depreciate further and other commodity related currencies, like Canadian dollar, would appreciate its value. So, for the long term, Canadian stocks seem to be more attractive, right?
A different thought; you may right in very short period; US $ may depreciate a bit in next year but eventiually you will see it appreciate alot if from 5 years perspective; unless you think there is one country can replace uncle Sam and it's gov;

you will see a strong US $ may not in 1 year, but in 5 years of time, for sure;
