Canada is a huge country.... utility costs can vary a lot from one province to another... For example, power costs about twice as much in Alberta (deregulated market) than in BC or Manitoba.

In Ontario, electricity is called "hydro" because most power used to be generated by Niagara Falls - and the name stuck. You may find this edifying:
