I have been wondering if I should lay plans to get a Canadian passport and my daughter could become a Canadian citizen if she wished. Only hubby is an American. All my relatives are up there. I might need to get going on that.

Americans have no rights, they have become slaves, and illegals have more rights than they do.

You're lucky in that you have dual citizenship. Allow me to help with a quick upside/downside list:

Canada is known for having socialized medicine. That can be a plus or a minus, depending upon how you view the matter. Obamacare is eroding the differential between the States and Canada.
Canada didn't go through the financial crisis. The downside is more prudent (or stingier) loan policies by the banks. In Canada, banks are much larger and far fewer.
Mortgage interest is not deductable, which has helped keep a lid on any real-estate bubble. On the other hand, any capital gains on your "principal residence" are tax free. An old duffer who bought a $25,000 property in 1969 and unloaded it for $1.8 million in 2008 got all of it tax-free. N.B.: There's only one principal residence per family unit.
"Civilization" in Canada is more concentrated than in the States. As a result, there are a lot more open areas where the government isn't much at - but neither are jobs, with the exception of boom regions, unless you've been born and raised there. As a result, big-city folk tend to put up with more intrusive local government than would otherwise be the case in the States.
Elabourating on the last point: the Alberta oil patch is one of those boom regions. If you can work with your hands, you can find a job very easily. The downside is that real estate - even rental real estate - is expensive and hard to find. If you go to a Red Deer homeless shelter - a flophouse - you'll find more than a few out-of-towners with high-paying oil patch jobs living there. They can't find anywhere else to live (or else they're saving up for a return home.) This rule of thumb should apply: if real estate is scarce in a town, there are jobs for newcomers. If there's a lot of "For Sale" signs in a town, no jobs.
Canada has its notorious Human Rights Commission, which many Canadian conservative consider an outrage, but there'll be little trouble if you're polite. Canadians who are outspoken tend to be noticed, not often in a good way. Again, there are upsides and downsides. This custom holds down the other guy as well as you.
There is gun control in Canada, but it's applied in a non-ideological way. The accompanying rubric is "public safety," which should give a clue as to who likes the gun-control regime.
As far as the military and the police, there's a lot more ideological diversity in Canada. To take a single example, Gen. Romeo Dallaire sits in Canada's Senate as a Liberal.
There's more political diversity in other areas, too. Noted broadcaster and feminist Pamela Wallin sits in the Canadian Senate as a Conservative.
Alberta is a Conservative dynasty. If a Liberal ever became Premier, the entire country would be shocked. Alberta also had two ministers - "Bible Bill" Aberhart and Ernest C. Manning - serve as popular and long-standing Premiers.

I hope this helps. Since it's off the top of my head, it's not very systematic.

Americans have no rights, they have become slaves, and illegals have more rights than they do.

Afraid Canada is further gone than we. They are the testing ground for a number of Orwellian policies, like 'hate-speech' laws.
