Yeah, sounds pretty accurate for Canada. We suck. America is 10x as big, so if someone has, say, 0.05% of the population as fans, that would be about 17,000 fans in Canada, but 170,000 fans in the US. Just the huge population alone makes it more worthwhile to be in a band in the States than in Canada, not even mentioning the difference in publicity generation in the States vs. Canada.
