Which, it's worth noting, is also the proportion Canada's national electricity production happens to be. And of that remaining fraction, half is nuclear.
Canada has very favorable geography for hydroelectric generation to the point where they're synonyms (people will sometimes call it "the hydro" here). Having vast quantities of unproductive land on what's functionally bedrock is still sometimes useful.
