Ultimately, it's cultural. Canada has more stringent labour laws because Canadians have demonstrated, through legislation and common practice, that we value those minimum standards. Americans do not value them as highly.

Canadians value minimum standards above Americans? How do you explain why some American jurisdictions have better laws and standards than we do in Alberta?

And Amazon treats its employees far worse that other American tech companies do. There are a lot of highly skilled and ambitious Americans who will forfeit pretty much everything else in their life to work 70 or 80 hours a week for a company they regard as the best in the sector. Also, piles of money. Fewer Canadians are willing to make that extreme trade-off.

How is this any different than our O&G industry? People working their 2 week 12 hour/day stretches in Fort Mac while living in camps would be considered to be extreme by many people. I think you may be letting your patriotism distort the facts a little bit.
