On the flip side, the Traj were maybe the most iconic Canadian Band ever, and not as well known in the US and around the world.

More recently, there is an indy rock band called Black Pistol Fire who were from Toronto. They did the local scene there, but later moved to Austin Texas where they started to take off. I listened to an interview with them and they are still proud to be Canadian, but the Austin scene is just a better place to jump off from in their niche.
I think it's just a fact for most Canadians in the entertainment industry that the American markets off more opportunity.
