It's an international flight, so the price is more expensive relative to a flight between two US cities. Usually it's 300 USD to fly compared to 140 USD by rail. Two things to keep in mind by rail to Montreal: customs add 1h, and

Without getting too much into the politics of it, I think a key factor is how polarized people are. Another one is how litigious Americans are, or at least are perceived to be. (Quebec person here, we're not exactly known for our table
