What state is most similar to Ontario?

I actually would argue that a state like California or Texas better represents Ontario because of the massiveness of the province, the large immigrant population, economic centralization, and a robust, sprawling metropolis while there are small towns all around the province.

LA is actually remarkably Toronto like, while you have a place like Sacramento that has similarities to the more quiet Ottawa.

But ultimately there probably isn't a great comparison in the United States because of Toronto's status, and having a federal capital in the mix.
