A case can be 12 bottles, 24 cans, etc, depends on the beer itself.
When it comes to whether or not Canadian beer is stronger than American, there is no difference, only in the way the alcohol content is measured. American brewers measure the alcohol by weight (abw) while Canadians measure it by volume (abv). A Canadian beer with 5% abv is equal to an American brew with 4% abw. Canadian mainstream beers also have a golden colour while the American equivalent has a pale yellow hue.
