than most of OntarioMost of Ontario is small places that cost basically nothing to live in or empty space. Meanwhile you've got engineers living in campers at their employer's office because life is so expensive in California.
And yet most people live in the GTA, because jobs are sort of required to live.
A car is still the same price no matter where you are in Ontario, same with food, same with electricity. You also get paid 4x less. The camper stories are extreme edge cases.
Cost of electricity is more than x3 in California than Ontario, certainly LA (24-28 cents USD per kWh) vs Toronto (8-11 cents CAD per kWh).
The only reason itβs that low in Ontario is because itβs hidden behind fees. Delivery alone would literally double my bill sometimes.Not to mention I donβt need to use heating in the winter at all. I still pay less in California.
'literally' (ugh) double your bill is still less than three times the cost. I worry you skipped math
I worry about your reading comprehension because I said I need to use less energy in the first place (ugh)
I'm not sure what you're on about at the moment. Try harder?
OP mentioned they can move wherever they want in the USA, same applies for in Canada I bet.
