Dude I live in Canada lol. 5% of 270k CAD/200k USD is 10k USD. That's not an insignificant amount of money. Sales tax is higher here, 13% in Ontario vs ~7% in CA (varies by county or something weird). Things really are more expens

Kanata isn't even a city, it has a population of 90,000. Where did you hear it was the 'Silicon Valley of Canada'? All your Internet traffic routes through the Toronto Internet Exchange.

You can still reach them with internet marketing, people who live in rural Canada still use social media. In many rural areas there will be kind of a catch all local business that springs up and resells cable, dsl, dialup, landline, cell or

Depends on the wireless ISP. Speaking generally, a wireless ISP has the potential to provide much better service at a much lower price. As compared to current satellite internet providers it is exponentially better, as compared to Starlink.
