Even the greatest rail service or highways would not be more convenient than the air travel we have already.
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.

100% this. I have no idea how it could work, but I really wish Canada would make it easier for Canadians to visit other parts of our country, whether that is some sort of travel subsidy, creating an affordable and extensive train network, particularly in the west, or what.
