I'm a Canadian in the GTA who turned down numerous offers to move to the US for jobs. Because this is my home. It's where my family and friends are. I have a sometimes misled sense of pride, etc. The same sorts of reasons most Americans wouldn't want to move to Canada for a job. I mean, I'd be more likely to move to Japan or France or something for a job because it's different enough to make it novel. But let's be real -- there are great areas all over the US. They have far more weather and geographical diversity. There are great cities like Portland, Austin, etc. It isn't all crime[1] or violence. And we're probably exposed to US politics more here than the average American (given Canada's inferiority complex and our profound focus on the US). And I've never had a problem with Canadian healthcare, but if you're taking a job in the US you'll probably be on a great plan that gets you great service there as well.
