Cant find any credible source that says Canada produces even near to that percentage of electricity with hydro.
I tought we were talking pollution as a whole.
Btw. Im little intrested now why your cabin producess so much sut? What fire wood you use as a fire wood in canada? What kind ovens you use? Is the chimneys straight pipes or what?
In 2021, Quebec generated almost all of its electricity from renewables including hydro (94%), wind (5%), biomass (0.6%) and solar (<0.1%), showing just how much of a renewable powerhouse the province is. Today, its utility operator, Hydro-Quebec, is the largest in Canada, playing an integral role in power exports to U.S. states like New York, New England, and Maine.
Quebec’s continued leadership in providing renewable electricity to North American customers is something we can all be proud of.
Aktshually, there’s a few municipalities with their own power companies. I knew about Hydro Sherbrooke but TIL there’s also Hydro Magog, Hydro Coaticook and Hydro Joliette.
Guess again.

And the whole point is about the pollution created by wood burning, not if cities are more polluted in the first place!

The numbers are for Québec only.
He is referring Québec, our main (only?) power supplier is even called Hydro-Québec, but they also do wind and solar power.

We don’t talk about those…
(TIL, thanks!)
I heat primarily with wood and no you don’t get gray fucking snow around the house. This person is exaggerating for effect.
