Why do most British celebs (no matter how successful) stay in country, while...

...ZERO Canadian Celebs do? Most British movie and rock/pop stars choose to remain living within the United Kingdom, even though they have the entire world as their playground. However, almost every single successful Canadian actor or musician moves to the States. Almost ZERO percent of internationally recognized Canadians spend the majority of their time living in Canada. It think it has a lot to do with the weather, but this goes to show you that the weather in the southern UK can't be THAT bad. Also, the UK probably supported the artists at the start of their career - Canadians never do that, and are so insecure that they must wait for international success to come first before supporting their homegrown talent.
