I hate to nitpick, but Canada's electricity production has been mainly (over 80%) from low carbon sources for decades as well. It is other industries and consumers who drive it in Canada.

In 2010, the leading type of power generation by utilities in Canada is hydroelectricity, with a share of 63.7%. nuclear (15.0%), Coal (13.1%), natural gas (6.2%), wind (0.6%), fuel oil (0.5%), and wood (0.4%) follow. Other sources, such as petroleum coke make up the remaining 0.5%.
