The thing with Canada is that it's really at the very least 6 countries in one always fighting amongst themselves (I'm going to say gross generalisations, please don't be offended :S ): British Comlombia, the west, or prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba), Ontario, Quebec, the atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, New Found Land, Nova Scotia) and the northern territories. As I see it (and I may be wrong) Canada as a whole is a little better than the US in most social fields but it's still pretty broken. As far as I know, the west is the most conservative and Quebec is the most progressive. Our political system is kinda broken, but not as much as the US still, I guess. One of the few things that has united (most) canadians historical is hating french canadians (and possibly aboriginals too). As someone else said, with our new liberal government things might be looking up a bit, but they still have to prove themselves. In the past they have proved to be quite average, in my opinion. But the previous conservative government was outright disastrous, so average is still progress, I suppose...
Aside from that, things are a bit hard economically right now in Canada because the previous government, backed by the west, made our economy almost exclusively about tar sand oil, a very polluting and costly kind of oil that requires petrol to be quite expensive to be lucrative. With petrol prices being rather low right now and nobody in their right mind wanting a dangerous time-bomb of a pipeline in their backyard, the economy is pretty down. It's especially hard in the west. Although to be fair, petrol exports boost our money's value which generally benefits western oil industry but hinders Quebec's (and possibly Ontario's?) manufacturing industries, so times are maybe less hard towards the east coast.
Anything else I could say is things will likely be very different from one province to another. Healthcare and education, amongst others, are provincial competencies. So it'll vary.
Of course, if you are considering to move to Quebec, you ought to speak french as it's the only unilingual french province. Just sayin'.
Aside from that... the big cities are mostly located along the southern borders and make up for most of the population. You're also pretty unlikely to see mooses unless you go to the zoo or are extremely outdoorsy. I'm medium-low outdoorsy and only saw a moose outside of a zoo once or twice in my almost 30 years life. I'll let you decide if that's a good or a bad thing
