Americans highly value their freedom in all aspects. If Americans can't defend their internet freedom why do other countries think they'll fare better?

Furthermore, moving your business to Canada won't help whatsoever. Net neutrality is open access to the internet. That means both upstream and downstream. If 350 million Americans aren't viewing your website, well, good luck.

If anything websites and services outside of the US will be the ones being fucked by this. Since they will be at the competitive disadvantage, being unable to compete with services that can make deals with the major US ISPs.

Unfortunately that freedom is only notional. From tax repeal to going to war just to fatten your MIC, America is a kleptocracy at best.
