    Because your comment suggests that heat pumps can’t work in Canada. It’s like an American dismissing heat pumps because Alaska is part of the US. For at least 70% (if not more like 90%) of Canadians, heat pumps work just fine. Obviously, if you are in the part of Canada that gets consistently below -40 degrees, don’t get a heat pump.

    Also, I’m not from Toronto or Canadian so I’m not sure all that talk about elitism applies to me. I’m from a small city in the US where I experience weather similar to most Canadians.

      My comment doesn’t suggest that, and the fact that you’re projecting that on me is your fucking problem.

      And the fact that you’re not even Canadian makes it even more absurd that you’re explaining to me the nuances of the Canadian experience.
