I think they would have interest if our population size and density wasn't so damn low and isolated.

They still have time until they turn demographically, and their unions don't have any power so they should be able to automate pretty quickly when they need to.
Canada is a tough market due to its physical size and geography as you note which spreads the population into clustered area's with a lot of dead space between it. They might see Canada as a path to getting things to the US. But realistically the same idea applies to Mexico which has a much larger population and a reasonably healthy demographics in terms of population structure.
