Yah that’s a hard one because there is so little actual culture In Canada, but the quality of life is probably much better supported from a federal perspective.

Curious what you do for work or if you are retired!? :) Similar for me - moved back to sf from Berlin and regretted it - the amount of cultural richness you get for the cost of living is much better in Europe and the crime/no health care/political craziness is insanity here. The US is just not a sane society. And going through all the visa stuff again isn’t an option for me. But when I lived there I always dreamt about coming back because it just didn’t feel like home, and Germans don’t smile very much.
