Depending what sort of freedom you are after, take it from one who has travelled to a fair few places that as a North American you won't find it much freer than in the USA or Canada.

I'm sure you'd also enjoy places like UK, Australia, New Zealand that speak English and are very free in a different way, but they will persecute you by driving on the wrong side of the road and doing everything in metric- except that the UK will still use miles but will charge almost as much for a litre of petrol as you pay for a gallon. < g >

Depends what you want. But be aware that once you leave the American Continent, Immigration Authorities will impose all sorts of rules on you and place big thumping stamps in your passport limiting your freedom in various ways.
