Well its a hard question to answer. Both countries are very similar in the direction they are headed. Canada may have some advantages such as larger land area and lower population. We tend to have a 'polite' culture. Certain things are not tolerated as much such as overly violent reactions of the state. Perhaps this is due to the general aversion to guns. This of course has it's down side though. Guns are increasingly demonized here and it's much easier for authorities to sell more gun control policies.

I'm biased as a Canadian so I would personally stick with Canada if given a choice. However there's clear advantages to the USA. Keep in mind both are still pretty similar in the end when it comes to encroachment on rights and freedoms. Toss us.
