People in the North and the South were unhappy with the Fugitive Slave act for different reasons.  Northerners didn't want to enforce the act, and southerners felt the act didn't do enough to secure their escaped property.  In this case many runaways fled to Canada rather than risk be caught and being sent back to their owners.
