What is the difference of the same stock on two different platforms ie TSX vs NYSE

Im confused on what seems like a moronic thing but here it goes, be nice. Im getting confused when a company is listed on two different trading exchanges and I can understand the price difference but how come one would offer a dividend and one wouldn't?

For example, Td and Td.to, they both trade at a similar price but one offers a dividend and the other does not. So why would anyone not purchase the one with a dividend if its the same price?

My only thought is that one tracks American performance and the other is the Canadian portion? uj
