While Canada might have mild to nice weather for almost half the year, for Australia it's almost for the whole year. At least by Canadian standards.

If enduring cold weather for half of the year is going to be a problem, then Australia is a much better choice than Canada. Australia is relatively close to several places in the Eastern_Hemisphere.

However, living in Canada means the USA is conveniently right next door, along with the Americas in general. Europe is also much closer to Canada than Asia is.

Urban Australia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urbanization_in_Australia

It seems that most people want to live in cities or their surrounding urban outskirts.

Australia is a fantastic vast land with only a small percentage of it that has been urbanized.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Melbourne#Overall

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Melbourne#Skyscrapers_at_least_200_metres_in_height In comparison, Vancouver, Canada has only allowed one residential tower to reach 200m. No office-tower in Vancouver has ever been permitted to have a 40th floor.

There was a time when Montreal had taller buildings than Melbourne, but that was a long time ago. That's because Melbourne isn't vertically limited like Montreal is. 1000_de_La_Gauchetiere is the only office tower in Montreal that has been permitted to have more than 50 floors. Given the strict height restrictions, Montreal might not permit any building to rival the Rialto_Towers for a while yet.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tallest_buildings_in_Australia#Tallest_buildings_under_construction_or_proposed

It seems that Australia isn't waiting for Canada to catch up, by the time that Australia has its 3rd building consisting of at least 100 floors, Canada will still have no 100 story buildings.

The CN_Tower like the Sydney_Tower and the Sky_Tower_(Auckland), aren't office or residential towers. 

The Harbour_Centre (stump) in Vancouver is a joke. The office portion of the building wasn't even allowed to have a 30th floor. Even the top of the antenna had to be less than a 3rd of the height of the CN Tower, because of the strict height limitations in Vancouver.   

The John_Hancock_Center in late 1960s Chicago, was the first office and residential tower to have a 100 floors, outside of NYC. Australia just might eventually have a couple of buildings taller than the John_Hancock_Center.

Canada’s ‘haves-and-have-nots’

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/dec/06/canada-primary-healthcare-budget-cut-study

https://bcmj.org/news/australian-health-system-example-canada There are clearly some things that are better in Australia than in Canada and its not just the weather.

 https://dailyhive.com/toronto/realtors-mocking-canadians-afford-homes While its nice to be financially comfortable and be able to pay for almost anything that one wants, some at that level just can't relate to the mass of people living payday to payday. Of course there are so many people don't even have a proper warm, dry and safe structure to live in.
