Sounds like you were in one of the MU lounges rather than the dire 'Premium' Lounge everyone else is sent to at CAN.
Before discovering premium travel, I thought lounges were simply private/walled off waiting areas. My first experience of lounge has been in the Pergolesi at MXP, and I was very impressed.
Ok, now I can make comparison between CX at HKG, Flagship AA at JFK, GF at LHR etc. but for me, when looking just for a comfortable seat (as in padded armchair), maybe a power port and something to drink, almost any lounge is still better than be seated at a gate. Apart from ZNZ, lounge toilets seems to be always better too.
