To put it bluntly- they died! A lot of the 70s/80s Canadian market was elderly Brits visiting offspring in Canada, or coming back to visit family in the UK. The level of migration to Canada in the last 30-40 years is a fraction of what it was in the 50s and 60s. It's still a popular place to visit of course, just not at the traffic levels there used to be.
