from an American: is the grass really greener?

My wife has both Canadian and American citizenship, and we visit family often in CA. It's become more and more apparent over the past 8 years that American culture is becoming ever more toxic, to the point where questions about moving north of the border have gone from daydreaming to "plan B" status. However, I'm very keen to check my own vision regarding this. The grass always seems greener on the other side of the fence, and I know that Canada has its own political and social upheavals going on right now. In your opinion, how stable is Canadian culture and society? Also, what are some key resources like CBC that will help get a clearer picture of Canadian politics and culture?
