I've been living in Canada for 30 years and for 25 years I've been working remotely for a US company, so I think I know pretty well both sides of the border.

Worst thing about Canada: it's not US. Best thing about Canada: it's not US.

Seriously now, for almost every aspect you can find two sides of the coin. Yes, taxes are higher but in general you get better services. Yes, health system waiting times can be longer but life expectancy is higher, so maybe they know what they are doing. Yes, selection of movies on Netflix is smaller but who wants to see all the movies on Netflix.

Canada is no paradise on Earth (otherwise all Americans would move North) but it's not a bad place to live either (otherwise all Canadians would go South). In the end it's a personal decision. If you manage to live in Canada and get paid in US$ you can even make a comfortable living.
