The biggest limiting factor for space launch cadence is the need shut down of air and shipping space. They have to share it. The other limiting factor is that certain spaceports are good for particular orbits. There is no reason Spacex wouldn’t use a spaceport in Canada if one was built there. Considering how much stuff they plan to put into orbit they need all the spaceports they can find.
