Speaking as a Canadian who has lived in LA for a time and worked in the US 3 times, I can make a few general statements. We as a people are less aggressive and not as progressive as our southern neighboors. I have enjoyed each time I have worked in the US. Americans are more patriotic than we are, and up until just recently have had a better standard of living Also I have found Americans to be more friendly on average. I don't know what it is but Canadians are cold and it is not just the weather.
Toronto (I assume that would be the location) and LA are very similar in terms of their makeup and culture. In terms of the progression of ideas and culture, LA is ahead of the curve. What is "on the edge" in LA would not be acceptable here. I listen to perhaps the most progressive radio station in TO (Toronto) and when I compared it to the same station in LA I detected a subtle but clear difference. Just a little bit more out there.
Anyway, we have Chuck E Cheese. There was one close to my previous work. I don't know the other chains you mentioned, and I do not have kids, so I perhaps am not the best person to ask. There is nothing like uWink here, so there is nothing I can compare it to. Technology companies in Canada want to break into the US market. For them, that is "making it". Canadian market is viewed as chump change. Toronto is the most progressive Canadian city I can think of and seems like a logical place for uWink. I think it would work. We get lots of celebrities and international action here. Other place I can think of is Vancouver. Calgary is just too cold and too redneck.
