Keep in mind that this is Canada and that many dwellings only have electric heating. This is likely the reason as to why electricity is not allowed to be cut during the winter months. Furthermore, the kind of person who would struggle to pay their electric bills likely rents a place that has poor insulation and resistive heating, with limited options to improve their energy efficiency.
