There is more lure to the states, I think. And once somebody becomes well-regarded for work in Canada,they get cherry picked away. Look at Chris Haddock, the head writer of DaVinci's Inquest. That was a very good show, based in Vancouver and it wasn't pretending to be something else. Now he's down south with Boardwalk Empire.
Similarly with Due South, people like it, now Paul Haggis is in the states.
Canadian television has a constant brain drain.
