The alternative is to leave this -40C icebox and live somewhere that we dont have to spend thousands on energy and instead move to a climate where humans were actually intended to flourish.
Isn't feasible in Canada, or not feasible at all?

Looking at the overall renewable energy capacity investment figures for 2019, wind (onshore and offshore) led the way with $138.2 billion globally, up 6%. Solar was close behind, at $131.1 billion, down 3%. Falling capital costs in wind and solar meant that the two combined are likely to have seen around 180 gigawatts added last year, up some 20GW on 2018.

If you go do a bit of research on investment in fossil fuel power production plant, you'll quickly notice that in North America alone we are not far away from seeing a massive reduction in coal, a serious reduction in natural gas, and more massive growth in the renewable sector.

Clearly the market, and the people engineering these plants and the grids behind them disagree with what you are saying here.
