Tech workers in Silicon Valley generally have very good health care. Winters in the Toronto area are horrible (I grew up in Western NY and would never dream of returning) and the climate in California is much more hospitable. San Francisco is a very diverse city if you stray outside the tech bubble. California isn't very gun friendly either, and gun control isn't exactly an issue that has a huge impact on where most people decide to live, either. I've loved every visit to Canada that I've ever made, but when you factor in the weather and lower pay, I would never live there.
