We have to remember that even though Vancouver is roughly the same size as Seattle, Canada is a tenth the size of the states. They'll always bring less up here and it will always cost more to sell up here for chains, which is why even though our cities are so comparable on paper, we have about half the shopping that Seattle does (for example). Economy of scale sucks when you're the boutique country.
