Amazon's Jack Reacher

The season is off to a great start. The three episodes just flew by. Loved the Terminator reference. And loads of action.

I noticed from the Wikipedia article on the book the season is based on that it was set in California and not New York in the show. I guess it’s cheaper to fake New York in Canada than it is California? No big deal just a bit curious is all.

Season 2 is filmed in Ontario, Canada which looks nothing like California. Season 1 was filmed in Toronto, Canada.

Why Canada? Difference in currency exchange ($1 US = $1.34 Canadian) and Tax Credits.

Depends on where in Canada. It looks like they're shooting in various locations around Quebec, so NYC does make more sense (especially in the Toronto area). Although some productions do use the Vancouver area to sub for NY (X-Files and Rumble in the Bronx come to mind).
