As Ontario gets hotter and AC increases, much higher demands for electricity (and more gas increases our carbon emissions). Heat pumps would help (as well as lower emissions in winter).

A hot day with higher demand in Ontario. Little wind and solar (and some nuclear offline) so unfortunately we are stuck with burning gas, and breaching the low-carbon limit of 100g.
