It's kind of hard to blame them really, I mean look at the lists of people on here. Most of them feature a number of states with obvious draws, when all of those places are in your backyard it's much easier to stay home than travel abroad.

very true, i wonder if distance from your home city would be more revealing. People in europe are usually surprised when I tell them it takes longer to go from Vancouver to Toronto than New york to London.
I think also America is really good at marketing itself to other Americans, while as Canadians, we don't feel that same draw to see America and are drawn to the rest of the world... or nicer weather.
