Any Canadian's considering moving to the USA? (lemmy.ca)

I'm kind of in a strange boat right now where I'm really comfortable in Canada yet I can't shake this feeling I need to get over to the US of A in order to take advantage of that strong USD. I, like many Canadians, work for an American firm and have a TN visa. Recently, my employer offered to sponsor me for a green card, if I ever choose to relocate to the USA. I can live pretty much anywhere I want as I'm a remote employee, but I do travel to the USA for client work.

It's a tough decision to make. While I consider it, I thought I'd ask the community. So, say you good lemmings?

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 itโ€™s that low in Ontario is because itโ€™s hidden behind fees. Delivery alone would literally double my bill sometimes.Not to mention I donโ€™t 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?
