You've worked at the AER in one of its incarnations, BCOGC is probably exactly the same. How did you feel when you left the AER, was it only a money decision or did you feel crushed under a soul burdening weight? Because nicer weather isn't worth doing something you'll hate day in day out for decades, imo. If you're someone who could relax into a government job and not mind it, then this might be an ok move.
Biggest economic factors I would consider that haven't been mentioned are PST on everything and housing prices. How much of the lower income will be made up by a lower mortgage payment?
