Without any sarcasm, lets point out a difference in geographic scale. 
In Canada, distances are long and that is one of the reasons we 
probably don't have as much activity as we otherwise could based on 
strictly population of gamers. For a lot of us to get to a major Con 
like GenCon or Origins,  it's a bit of an expedition. For example, a 
crew of us from Ottawa are headed to Lancaster Pennsylvania for the 
GZG con down there.... and it's a good 8-10 hour drive each way. 
That's a non-trivial distance to a lot of folks. I'd love it if we 
were as tightly packed (in some ways) as Britain. It would be great 
to have it easy and relatively cheap to pull together a lot of 
companies and gamers. Big cons can be a lot of fun.
