Isn't Todd a dual citizen? So while he's also an American, at least we have a Canadian in there now!

They'll never allow Canadians on Survivor because of insurance issues, period. Not that they COULDN'T do it, but it would be much more difficult to arrange, and likely much more costly to the producers, so totally not worth all the trouble. Other U.S.-based reality shows HAVE had Canadians on them (such as The Apprentice), but they never involved potentially life-threatening situations, so the same type of insurance wasn't an issue. Prize money wouldn't be an issue (why would they change the prize money based on where the winner was from? -- the prize would be $1 million U.S. regardless) and I highly doubt American audiences would be pissed off to see a Canadian on the show (are they pissed off to see William Shatner on Boston Legal? or Alex Trebek on Jeopardy? or Cobie Smulders on How I Met Your Mother? or Kristin Kreuk on Smallville? or Sarah Chalke on Scrubs? or... well, you get the idea).

Still, I wouldn't be surprised to eventually see a Survivor: Canada in the B.C. interior (during the summer), using various First Nations tribes for "native village" visits and totem pole themes in challenges. Of course, that probably wouldn't happen until the Canadian dollar fell back down again -- it'd be too expensive to try and do anytime soon.
