Climate is the primary reason. Much of Canada is north of the primary temperate corn-producing area. Wheat is more cold-tolerant than corn and has a shorter growing season as well. Corn production in Canada tends to be limited to short-season varieties which typically don't yield as much.

When will the production possibility frontier be a straight line?
This occurs when two goods are produced without specialization of resources. Typically there is specialization which leads to the bowed out curve. For example, think of a PPF in which corn and wheat are grown on the same land. Some of this land is going to be better for producing wheat; thus, the wheat is going to take up more and more of the land. But at a certain point, you're going to be using land that will be best used for corn production. So if you use all of the land for wheat (a point either on the x or y axis of the PPF), the opportunity cost measured in corn is going to be greater than the cost of producing all wheat. Remember that the slope of the line is the opportunity cost.But when there is no specialization, producing all of one good does not incur a greater opportunity cost. Therefore the opportunity cost is constant and the slope is constant.

Corn price is elastic or inelastic?
Corn, like many food items is (relatively) inelastic. Many people will continue to buy it regardless of price, as they need it for sustenance. Actually, corn pricing is quite elastic, since the demand for corn encompasses at least five major purposes: human foodstuffs (excluding sweetners), food sweeteners, animal fodder, biofuels, and plastics-substitutes. Corn, while a core staple of many diets, is quite replaceable by other grains, and thus, demand for corn for human consumption can often be satisfied by wheat or barley or rice instead. Corn pricing has thus historically been quite elastic, with demand changing quickly depending on other substitute's pricing and new uses for corn. The elasticity of corn pricing is shown by the large change in demand when prices change in each of its primary markets: foodstuff corn demand is offset by foodstuff grain demand as corn prices increase; sweetener corn demand is offset by sugar demand; animal fodder demand is offset by hay, grains and synthetics; biofuel corn is replaced by grain or non-organics; and petrochemical platistics replace corn plastics. In each of these cases, there is a ready source of alternative, which is at least reasonably comparable in pricing; thus, changes in corn's pricing directly effect the demand for corn, as people either chose the alternative more (when corn's price goes up), or chose corn over the alternative (as corn's price decreases).

What is the difference between wheat barley maize?
Wheat has a more broader and "coarser" seed head than barley, and the tufts/bristles (called awns) are shorter in wheat than barley. Corn or Maize is a much larger cereal grass, with the seeds on a cob enclosed by a sheath. The awns are very floppy and finer than either wheat or corn. Corn can grow up to 10 feet in height whereas barley and wheat only grow up to 4 feet in height. As far as deciphering individual grains, wheat is darker in colouration than barley. Corn is much different shaped than wheat or barley, having a rounded head as opposed to the sharp oval/diamond shape that wheat and barley have.
