LOL. Why the hell is anyone talking about the "opportunity" in the US vs. Canada when a (presumably) middle-aged guy with a family who has already lived in the US for 20 years is asking whether to get citizenship or not? Yeah, I'm sure he's going to drop everything to go grind at Facebook in pursuit of the FIRE lifestyle.
Anyway nfotiu, as others have said, citizenship is probably a good idea in your case. There are annoying things relating to taxes and filing requirements if you're a US citizen living abroad. But I'm assuming that barring a serious breakdown in the country, you're planning on staying? If so, then there's no real downside. You still keep your Canadian citizenship and being a US citizen rather than a green card holder would only really serve to help you if things get hairy down there.
