IMO, and I was born in Canada and lived there for nearly 30 years. I barely even visit now, and when I do it is just to play some golf in July and August.
In this sort of business you can come up with ALOT of better places to live. Canada is perfect for a middle class family (think StuartD), with free healthcare and education and relatively clean with low crime in the suburbs.
For anybody else, it is very COLD for 6 months per year, nice for 3 or 4 months and tolerable for 2, the taxes are some of the highest in the world, and the relative cost of living is quite high now that the CAD is booming. I'd be thinking about going back to South America personally.
