PCR testing options in Ontario (best prices, locations, turnaround times)

January
Cheaper antigen tests have become somewhat easy to find in Ontario.
First Shoppers Drug Mart started offering them for $40. Now various Costco and Walmart locations are offering them for $16-$20.
Antigen tests are fine for mainland U.S. entry (any state but Hawaii) or for flights connecting through the U.S., but some countries require a PCR test for entry. (You can find the details on what each country requires for entry here)
PCR tests are still expensive in Canada, and result times can vary from 24-48 hours.
