Canada varies, just as areas of the USA do. I've never felt "small" there, but have often felt out of place. I feel right at home in French-speaking areas of Quebec, but not in places like London,Ontario. But, I wouldn't feel any better in New York City either. Half of my family (a few generations back) left Port Royal, Nova Scotia and Nicolet, Quebec to find what they considered a better life in the USA. The other half of my family left southern France and tried to live in in the "Royal Mountain" area of Montreal. They hated the place and moved to New Jersey. So, to each his own. The grass is often "greener" on the other side of the fence.
There are many states in the USA with higher median incomes then in any of the provinces of Canada - but there's a huge difference between "standard of living" and "quality of living." One can be measured with numbers, and the other is a personal thing -sometimes based on perception. I can't speak for any Canadians, but I know many people in the USA with tons of money and toys and a very unhappy exisitence.
In Canada, the highest median-income is in the Northwest Territories at $98,500. Lowest in Nunavut at $58,590. At least so the stats say.
In the USA? Santa-Clara County in California at $103,500 and the Aleutians in Alaska at $96,300 (and no income tax). Lowest in Mississippi at $35,000.
If somebody were actually able to measure "quality or life", I suspect it is very high in some of lowest-income areas on earth. Areas where people have to depend on one-another to survive.
