Bottom feeders like you can always find muck to rake.

 LOL! in 2022 there was a spike in Canadians emigrating to the U.S. From your own CBC!

 Americans moving to Canada, not so many. In 2023 10,640. Given the difference in populations the per capita difference is something like 70 Canadians moving to the U.S. for every U.S. move to Canada.

Because there's been greater economic opportunity in the US for decades.   Had a friend move to Toronto back in the 1990s, for example.
Plus there's more depth than just the top line number.  For example, the second cite above indicates that born-in-CA emigrants was pretty steady at ~40K/year, with a CoVid dip down to 26K and 2022's rebound to 53K is probably just an rebound as it reverts to the mean.

There may be a spike after our 2024 elections, you are welcome to them.

If the ACA gets cancelled, Medicare privatized, & Social Security gutted as per P2025, who wouldn't be considering a move to Canada?

Of course, both countries ARE attractive to migrants. The U.S. is so attractive it became a major reason Trump is the next president. Democrats way underestimated how we, including Latinos, feel about the illegals. If we controlled immigration as well as Canada it would not be such an issue here.
 People literally walk hundreds of miles to get to our southern border. Not many walk across Canada's southern border.

Except that Canada is increasingly concerned about the immigration currently coming from the US, and just tightened their policies to try to prevent a surge after 2024 making it an even bigger problem:
