Many parameters including Airport are in my mind a bit of a red herring. Flights/frequencies to anywhere can be started/ increased in an instant.

The one and sometimes only language these companies speak is money. Whatever jurisdiction gives them the most favourable incentive package will get the prize. For this reason alone I don't think they'll come to Canada.

In all my travels to the USA it never ceases to amaze me how even tiny cities have serious corporate presence. Cedar Rapids, Iowa is a good example.
