Yeah I've been thinking about the same thing... and i tend to agree yes it's cheaper in TO. Not that there is no scams there obviously.
Lived in all 3, TO, MTL, Ottawa, and it's really just a matter of market and population, and thus quantity, quality, competition. I found this to be true in O town for any industry or service. We seem to be content with a C grade, as good as it gets, and pay for an A service. When tendering for construction contracts, this I know, you get way less choice and players, but the price is top notch
In my (un)professional experience and assessment, uncovered SP service with CFS, is 250 hr in TO, 300 in O town, 250 in MTL. In MTL you'll have just as many scams like in ottawa, but more choice and people. And attitude
. In TO more variety and better price, and the bad actors tend to get weeded out from market forces.... so yeah. Mtl is down the road, TO if I happen to be there.
Sorry if this offends anyone's sensibilities, in advance
