Electricity, high minimum wage (not everyone in a HQ operation is an engineer or manager), concern about future taxes due to high debt. Cumulatively it would be a more costly operation. Also, the big disadvantage Ontario has is weak municipalities that lack financial resources (important since this is basically a "who can give the biggest bribe" exercise.
HQ type operations are exempt from most provisions of 101.
Agree wrath of the Orange Moron will be a consideration.
