because the canadian snowboard federation sucks. none of the good riders from canada want to ride in the olympics because of all the rediculous requirements that the canadian snowboard federation has for their athletes. all of canada's good snowboarders are off entering contests and doing things such a filming movie spots, magazine photo shoots etc etc. where the financial rewards and exposure to the snowboard world are far greater than what they would be riding for the CSF and competing in the olympics and all of the crappy FIS competitions.
{EDIT}: The US does not even come close to owning canada in the sport...not even close...both countries are pretty much on par with eachother...the olympic snowboarding structure is rediculous imo. halfpipe, slalom, and boardercross? throw in some slopestyle, maybe some extreme backcountry style events...than you will see all the good riders surface...slalom and boardercross are bunk.
