well you're right and wrong.
If I were ALLOWED to spend that much time in the US, yes I would. But the US does not let people stay longer than 6 months without a visa, in which case you are classified according to your visa. There may be a couple countries that they allow, but not Canadians and I doubt it for commonwealth countries also.
I should add that this is what i was told by a Canadian emigration employee, I never actually dug through the US website.
