    Why did Canadian companies make you happier? I’ve worked for both, we definitely have the same work culture as the US, at least in the Ontario tech sector.

      Canada in general made me happier. Not necessarily the companies specifically. As much as we can complain about our health care issue here in Canada, the social safety net here is significantly better. And I had “good” insurance coverage in the states. It was a constant fear of getting sick or injured and ending up in the wrong hospital and not getting covered (or any number of other reasons). Add to that the social pressure to spend money on everything in the states. Everyone I knew down there was in debt up to their eyeballs, no matter how much they made. It was ridiculous.
