Toronto/Vancouver areas are both well within the temp range for heat pumps (e.g. ~50% of Canada's population). The further norther areas are a bit cold for air source heat pumps, but are still well within ground based heat pump temp ranges.

Toronto and Vancouver have completely different climates.
Toronto regularly has ten days per year where the high temperature is below -15 C.
Even cold climate heat pumps struggle at those temperatures. I would know, i have one.
