The line which makes up most of the Canada/USA border is a line of latitude (49 degrees North Latitude). And obviously, California is a long distance SOUTH of this line, therefore, most everything in Canada cannot be at the same latitude as California.

However, the southernmost point in Canada is Point Pelee, Ontario (southeast of Windsor, Ontario) at a latitude of 41 degrees, 54 minutes North (approximately). The northern border of California which is the 42 deg latitude line. So some bit of the northern (i.e., Canadian) shoreline on Lake Erie at Point Pelee is indeed farther south than the northern border of California.

As to the Longitude part: "NO WAY". Longitude lines run from North Pole to South Pole, so if you go due south from ANYWHERE in Ontario you would NEVER end up in California.

However, as a little trick of geography: There is an ONTARIO located in Southern California (near Los Angeles).

No, Latitude is the east-west line like the equator, longitute is the north-south line going from pole to pole. So it is possible to have one or the other the same but not both...Because if they are both the same then you live in some parallel universe where california and ontario are in the exact same location which is impossible, that would be like driving my truck through an intersection at the same time as another car...two objects can't occupy the same space at the same time without violent consequences.

the very southernmost point in Canada is Point Pelee which is at about the 42 paralell. This line also runs through Norhtern California. So yes, it is true that the latitude is the same bot the longitude is different. Southern Ontario is about the 81st and California runs through the 120th

If you're talking about the city of Ontario, California, yes. Which only makes sense since the city is in southern California - just outside of Los Angeles, actually.

Impossible!

If they had the same latitude and longitude they would be in the same place!

Southern Ontario is quite a bit more North than California - and it is way more east.

No.

Here, you have lat. and long. the same, so two dimensions are already the same. And it's impossible for altitude to be different while at the same place because it violates the laws of physics. So unless, California is in the same lat. and long. but in a completely different fourth dimension, which apparently is not in the real world. This is impossible.

No.

Every place on earth has its own unique set of latitude and longitude coordinates. Ontario is significantly further east of California, so while they are both in the northern and western hemispheres, their coordinates will not be similar.

If it were true, we'd be on top of each other.

But if we were, I'd insist that California would be on top. That way, the Ontarians (Ontaryites?) would be a mysterious race of troglodytes and fear the sun.

Longitude and latitude determine a locations placement on the earth. Each place has its own unique combination of the two numbers. Like fingerprints and snowflakes, no two are alike.

Cyndef and one other have it right. All the rest of your answers have resulted from incompetence and a lack of research. All anyone had to do was look it up!
