It hurts me to say this but I would say Canada based on economic freedom and potential.

I'm sure both places are just fine. The skills and involvement of the parents will have much greater impact than citizenship, in this case. Places such as Syria or Pakistan might be a different story, though.

Huntington Beach, CA. Best weather, great schools, diversity, and most of all lots of tennis courts

That's like saying "which is better, the Atlantic or pacific?"
You'll have to be more specific.
There are huge differences within each country based on your location and what you're looking for.

Stanstead, Quebec. You're right on the border. Apparently some living on the US side have driveways that briefly pass through Canada.

I voted for the Pacific Ocean.

So many billions of families with billions of years of tradition.

According to the propaganda the government put out, the United States it the best country on earth. Kinda like a Snapple!

Canada weather leaves something to be desired for tennis players.

Not really big lakes that taste funny?

And you didn't answer my question. I must know these things.
And while we're at it, is a January summer or July summer better?

I'm seriously suprised you don't consider Orstalia in there. Their economy is growing faster than Canadas. And its economy isn't tied as closely to Americas which imo will sadly be better for the Orssies

Orstralia

There are huge differences within each country based on your location and what you're looking for.
I agree with this sentiment - the intracountry variance far outweighs the intercountry variance.
