Edmonton vs Toronto PowerScore: Which City Has Better Rebates?

Heads up: these two cities are in different regions (Alberta and Ontario). PowerScore's dollar-value component is normalized against the strongest program in each city's own region, so this comparison is directional, not a precise apples-to-apples number the way comparing two cities in the same region would be. Use it to see which city currently has more/better-funded/more stackable programs, not as a strict ranking.
