If you want info on Canada's nuclear industry http://www.nuclearfaq.ca/ is the place to get it.

Answer 2

Each province is responsible for producing its own electricity.

Electricity is generated by hydropower in Br. Columbia, and Québec.  Ontario uses nuclear plants.  Alberta produces electricity with coal and natural gas. Manitoba Hydro has 14 hydroelectric generating stations.

Most of the provinces  use a mix of hydro, nuclear, and fossil energy.

For each province, you have to research the methods of generating electricity.
