Natural gas already accounts about half the heating in Canada with electricity from hydro accounting for most of the rest. The only place that still uses heating oil to a significant degree is in the Atlantic provinces which are difficult to supply with gas because of their isolated location and their small population.

Natural Gas is between a quarter and half the price that it was 10 years ago.
