The magnetic field of the Earth is very unique. It bulges at the center and comes down at the poles. Thus, particles of radiation from the sun can easily react with the magnetic field at the poles causing aurora. Since Canada is closer to the poles, you can see more aurora there.

The natural aurorae are polar phenomena, so obviously the closer you are to the equator, the less likely you are to see them.

Because they occur much more frequently closer to the poles.
