  1. Canada  as a country is a huge consumer of energy. In 2002, it ranked almost equal to the United States for first place among the G-8 nations, the eight most industrialized countries in the world, in terms of per capita energy consumption.

    Canadians consume nearly three times as much energy as Italians, who ranked last among the G-8 countries. That’s because of our long travel distances, our long winters, and an economy based partly on high energy consuming industries, such as mining, forestry, petrochemical, pulp and paper, aluminium smelters, refining and steel manufacturing.

    Total energy consumption in Ontario itself ( your question) rose 17%, in British Columbia by 16% and in the Atlantic provinces by 16% between 1990 and 2003. In Ontario and British Columbia, growing populations played a major role, while in the Atlantic Provinces the demands of industry were the main factors.


  2. The link provided is to the Annual Report of the Chief Energy Conservation Officer of the Ontario Power Authority.  Might be a good place to start.
