Don't you think if you were "safe" in Canada there would be a mass exodus up there?

If you are a US entity and incorporate in Canada and move your business assets up there for the purpose of minimizing their claim against you, you may run into some trouble.
If you have a good business reason for moving there (ie, something other than to avoid litigation) a court may accept it.
If you are Canadian based (ie, no initial US prescence) and have a Canada/Provincial corporation Acacia has no claim against you because they don't have a registered patent or even an application pending. Last I checked you can't litigate for patent infringement if it doesn't exist.
There are international patent treaties, but these apply more to the patent process especially through WIPO, not litigation.
Acacia only appears to be registering the patent in countries where there are the most targets for their ponzi scheme.
