WRONG!
The Canon 24-70 2.8L II is better. Also the 70-200 2.8L IS II and Nikon 70-200 2.8 VR II win best zoom lens in my book (it's a tie, I've used both a LOT).

Wrong, the Canon version is only better on a Canon body. Keep your silly white lens......

Oh yeah, that's right, you can't use Canon lenses on a Nikon body. Whereas you can use (with an adapter) Nikon lenses on a Canon body. Lots of landscape guys use the Nikon 14-24 on their Canon bodies (before the D800E came out that is).
Oh and the Canon white lenses are obviously better because they keep cooler in the sun.

Except the issue with the Nikon version where the rear node or whatever it's called breaks very easily (it happened to me and many other people).
There's a difference in image quality between the Nikon 24-70 2.8 and the Canon 24-70 2.8L II. Not a huge one, but it's there. I've owned both.
Sure it's mainly in the corners and at 2.8, but you can tell the difference if you look at test charts at 100%

All fanboyism aside, the difference between the 24-70 and 70-200 from both camps is minor and certainly not worth jumping systems over.
The Nikon 28-300 is definitely better than the Canon 28-300 in all ways except build quality.

You had problems with your nikon 24-70 because you dropped it and broke it.
The Canon is sharper than the nikon, because it's a newer design.
