Toronto is at the same latitude as Rome.

    Rome has a residential electricity price of 0.35 Euros per kwh, which is about $0.50 cdn. Torontos midpeak price per kwh is 12.2 cents.

    The latitude doesn't matter when the price of electricity is literally one fourth of the amount.

    There isn't even a 4x difference between the north pole and the equator for solar irradiation.
