Some little correction here:
Sugar is not used in beverages in Canada HFCS is.
Canada is a sugar producer and prices in Canada for sugar is cheaper then in USA. Canada does not have the farm bill/corn subsidies found in the USA yet HFCS is still economical to use rather then sugar.
Some reasons are:
no dissolving required nor heat involved with HFCS because it is liquid and readily dissolves in water.
HFCS does not crystallize.
HFCS does not cloud nor yellow clear beverages.
weight per weigh or calorie per calorie or at the same brix, HFCS is sweeter then sugar because it is composed of 55% fructose and 45%glucose which is sweeter then the disaccharide sucrose (table sugar) which is 50:50 fructose:glucose.
(by the way, Kosher for passover Coke IS TRULY better then the regular stuff)
PS: I have heard rumours that 7UP has switch to using sucrose instead of HFCS (I can't confirm this). Their marketing is gearing towards all from NATURE ingredients.
