It's pretty funny. You get the same tax load in most of canada compared to california, yet the tax laws have far less gotchas like these and you get universal health care. The canada gotcha's are: 1. Everything is more expensive. 2. Housing is overpriced in employement metros except alberta. 3. You get paid a lot less than the USA anyway. 4. Canada's stock market is pretty much flat compared to the USA in the past decade. Sometimes just raw amounts of money overcomes a lot of these kinds of issues.
