Isn't it a little difficult to directly compared prices between Ontario and Alberta because they have variable pricing based on demand? If I'm not mistaken they have time-of-day or usage based pricing or whatever it is called where the rate varies hourly based on demand within the system (similar to Uber's surge pricing.) We don't have demand based pricing here.
Also, it is really surprising how many household in Ontario have electric water heaters and electric heat. I think they were fooled into thinking that their electric rates would be cheap with nuclear and hydro power and that those appliances would be best as electric instead of gas.
