Also as browna mentioned, Brazil will be a disaster and may even be moved. If Brazil is moved to the US for example, then Canada would have no chance to host in 2018.

FIFA seems to be cultivating a reputation for putting events in risky locations... Canada 07 U-20 (which was a success), South Africa 2010, Brazil 2014...
With that, the question would be, is the risk worth it, or not? If the answer is yes... then Canada is actually amongst the best choices. If not, its between England and Benelux.
Also, I would say if Brazil manages to screw up 2014... the likeliest candidate to take it on would be the one who could do it the easiest. That would be England. The US would have to spend a lot to convert the football fields to soccer again.
