If you are middle class, Canada's is miles better. And Zads even says so. As a rich individual, he admits he prefers the US system which makes tons of sense.
One thing that stood out to me (which was a true statement) was that he understands WHY Canada is so strict with their Covid protocols. It's to protect the healthcare system. It would quickly become overrun with restrictions, whereas in the US, rich people will continue to get taken care of. He's a smart individual.

That just isn't true. As long as you have a good health insurance plan (and most middle class people do), the US system is much better. Waiting times are shorter, and you are treated like a customer instead of an inconvenience.
I don't want to turn this into a big political debate - in Canada, we choose a system that protects everyone. Awesome. In the US, they have a pay-to-play system, and they pay A LOT, but they get good service for that money (assuming they can play).
Is what it is, but let's not pretend it's something else.
