Americans don’t have the same measuring system
Canada uses the metric system, as Europe does. Americans on the other hand, use the older Imperial System of Measurement. Even if Americans believe that this system is the best, the US is actually one of the few countries in the world that still use it.
Canada has two major languages
In the US, English is the major language. Even if there might still be a huge percentage of people who speak Spanish, English is still the primary language. In Canada, on the other hand, there are two major languages: French and English. In 2016, 29.8% of Canadian citizens spoke French, while in Quebec, 94.5% of the population spoke it. Even more, 30 million people in Canada are reportedly English speakers.

My niece has lived and worked in Canada for many years; she has dual citizenship. In her experience, the “free” health care system leaves much to be desired.
The system as a whole is underfunded, so that there aren’t enough practitioners. Therefore, there can be long waits for essential, even urgent, services. She’s very active and athletic, so she occasionally suffers an injury (such as a broken nose) that would be treated immediately or within days in the U.S.; she’s had to wait weeks for proper treatment. However, if she were willing to pay with her own money, she could be treated much sooner. Some Canadians who can afford it, go to the U.S. for treatment of major health conditions. The idea of free health care is good; there must be proper implementation to go with it.
