That has nothing to do with the so called freedom (to do as your corporative lords decree) nor hope (since this generation has little hope they will have the same economical opportunities in life their parents had). It has to do with a huge difference in the size of the economies in America (the same problem they have in Europe) that is exacerbated by the U.S. long tradition of fueling the economy with cheap (slave or illegal) labor. Canada does not have such a huge immigrant influx because their labor market is pretty closed, meanwhile a little south Canada's border Chicago and New York are full of immigrants (so it has nothing to do with the cold weather).
