Because they're different countries, with larger divisions in culture, societal structure, history, economic engines, etc.
I'm sure if Quebec and Alberta started out over literally thousands of years of history as separate nations, and then tried to paper mache some kind of currency together and hope it would work, we would face similar issues as the Euro is today.
I suspect what we may witness over the next couple years is the fall of the Euro in general, given that so many countries, not just Greece, have such huge debt issues and not enough economic engines to balance that currency out.
