I made the move to Canada some years back. Coincidentally, there was a thread about H1B and here is my comment why I moved to Canada.

I moved to Canada to escape the George W. Bush presidency. I couldn't in good conscience pay taxes to support the Iraq war. I took a 40% salary cut but the next few years dropped the US$ rapidly and made me some of that back. Also my family health costs dropped dramatically, making up more than the rest.
