I think this song is fairly straight forward. As a musician/artist/performer in Canada it's sort of assumed that you have to go to California if you want to achieve your dreams. If you stay in Canada it's a lot harder to start your career. I think that's true for most people who aren't American.
I also think Dallas is expressing his love for the Canadian wilderness specifically with the line:
"I need to see the leaves change and the snowflakes falling
I need to hear the call, the wind whistling through the winter pines"
