Richius, what percentage of Mississippians or Ohioans or Nebraskans with 'ambition' end up becoming residents of Los Angeles or New York?



It depends where your ambition lies.  If it is technology, you'd probably want to be in Silicon Valley.  If it is finance, probably New England.  If it is ranching and growing crops, or testing new methods of selectively breeding plants, you'd probably want to stay in Mississippi.

The point is, Canadians are moving south at an alarming rate.

The point is that the top of any profession - and particularly media and entertainment - is found in just a few cities worldwide.
None in Canada.

Toronto actually has a vibrant production industry, as does Vancouver, thanks to lower fees for filming.  Television shows such as X-Files were filmed in Canada.

It also takes 0 ambition to be in the arts.  And it is Americans that are doing the real work; and it is American money that is doing the talking.

That is because the U.S. is more populated, and thus has a larger market-place.  The American marketplace heavily serves, and thus satiates, most of the Canadian marketplace.  They blur.  How does this prove that Canada is inferior?
