My two cents

US
++ Largest Economy, More Roles, Better Compensation
++ Lot of Large/ Mid Size cities to live in / travel to
++ Immediate Access to Healthcare
++ warm/pleasant weather in most country
-- very expensive healthcare / insurance
-- Gun Violence
-- Immigration is complicated, and a decades long process

Canada
++ streamlined immigration with a defined pathway to PR and citizenship
++ Cheap socialized healthcare
++ No Guns 😅
-- socialized healthcare = wait time in seeing a doctor
-- lower pay for the same roles (compared to the US)
-- almost unaffordable housing market
-- cold winters
