Neither country will prevent you from being a dual citizen, but tax laws may not necessarily be in your favor either.
Remember as a US Citizen you are required to file taxes on your world-wide income, regardless of where you live or where you made the money. If you do not make that much money, this will probably just be a yearly pain in the butt for filing all the paperwork, but you will not actually owe much in US taxes. If you have overseas assets of at least US$10,000 you are also required to file a yearly disclosure with the IRS listing all of your foreign accounts and how much money you have in them.
Some US investment options, like 401Ks or IRAs, are only available to US residents, so living and working overseas you might not be able to take advantage of these types of investments. Also read up on the Windfall Elimination Provision (WEP). Working overseas might affect the amount of money you will later receive from Social Security.
first, determine if you are eligible to teach in Ontario. You don't mention your specific credentials but this will give you an idea. Then you can apply for a position as you already have work permission.
However, one small piece of advice. While you are able to legally move, that doesn't mean you should move. Unless you have spent considerable time in London Ontario, you may find it, and Canada, very different from what you are used to.
The political landscape will change, both here and in Canada. Don't move to run away from something, make sure you are running to something, and that your pension and alimony are also still available to you outside the US.

I grew up in London. It has a distinct "US" small city feel to it, surprisingly.
