Twitter is arguing over which province is the Florida of Canada

If you’re wondering why “Florida of Canada” is trending on Twitter today, it has a lot to do with a discussion that began yesterday about COVID-19 public health directives in Quebec. After Epidemiologist & Health Economist Eric-Feigl Ding pivoted from his criticism of Quebec to B.C., Canadians across the country jumped on the Florida of Canada debate. We have so far noticed no mention for the Maratimes/Atlantic provinces.

18 hours after my Quebec shaming tweet ????… mask mandate now imposed in all elementary schools!!!

Meantime, I’m watching the Florida of Canada…. errrr British Columbia ???????? #COVID19 https://t.co/LLJWZpuRGm

So to get this straight:
Alberta- Texas of Canada
BC- California of Canada
Quebec- Florida of Canada
Ontario- New York of Canada?

as someone from southern ontario I have to oppose you calling british columbia the florida of canada. we offer:
✔️ meth
✔️ people loitering in the parking lot of fast food places no matter the weather
✔️ an oddly strong pro-gun culture
✔️ a lot of seniors
✔️ more meth https://t.co/27poGMKTug

The pitch for Southern Ontario as the Florida of Canada

Hot take since it's trending: the Florida of Canada and the Texas of Canada are both Alberta
