Which country has a good balance between democracy and software patent unfriendlyness?

I would think twice staying in the country I am currently in, if there are better place to live in.

The problem is that if the "bad" directive is voted, all european countries
will suffer from the situation. This means if I want to leave Belgium because of this, I have to leave Europe ... but to go where ?

Anybody know about Canada's patent laws? (Sadly, despite the fact that I'm Canadian, I have no idea myself.) Canada tends to be more "European" than the United States, so it's possible the patent laws are decent.
