I think you are bang on. There is a very stark difference between conditions in the US vs Canada.
I think the Canadian movement would have been further ahead if they had come out and said the only goal was to "show support" for OWS. Or if they had organized dozens (or 100's) of bus loads of people going to US to join them.
They failed "Canadian'ize" the movement and as a result just ended up looking foolish and ticking the general public off. (Calgary in particular, IMO)
