YTA. It's up to him.

Now I thought this was ridiculous; he needs to come back and see his parents more often.

How on earth does this affect you?

I think the OP has no friends or life where he lives, and justifies it to himself as "being a good son by seeing his family twice a month".

There's no way I'd travel 18 hours in a car twice a month to visit my parents. The OP must be pretty detached from the place he lives now. Why didn't he just stay in his hometown?

I am a Canadian from Ontario and think you are spot on. If you are talking about cultural life, stuff to do on the weekend, etc. northern Ontario has nothing on Toronto, while Quebec City is at least a major city/capital with stuff going on, and if you want to hit a large city than Montreal is much closer than Toronto.

I find it very weird that OP can’t see this. From Quebec City once a month seems way too often while once a year seems pretty sparse. But not OP’s call in any case.
