I hate when people say this, no BC is not closer to Oregon than Ontario. Have you been to either? Ontario (The GTA mostly, but thats where about half of them live) is full of itself sure but it still has the same institutions, demographics, urban form and dialect spoken as here. Outside of Portland and the coast, Oregon is basically Western Idaho and is full of Rednecks and White Nationalist survivalist types.
Closer to Asia-Pacific? Give me a break, Vancouver is nothing like the big Asian metropolises (I've been to them all) that's like saying New York is closer to Italy than the rest of the US because there's a lot of Guidos in Brooklyn.
