One factor that might be relevant is that Canada has had relatively little internal migration and a lot of immigration. A person whose parents immigrated to Canada is less likely to have personal ties to other provinces.

Yeah. Outside of a few older folks who grew up in Saskatchewan decades ago, I've never met anyone in BC who has been to the part of the country east of Calgary but west of Toronto.
