I don't know why gas heating is so prevalent in parts of Europe historically, I guess fossil fuels were just the cheapest way of heating compared to electricity. Google says that in Canada also much heating is gas or oil based, so perhaps the prevalence of electric heating is a feature of your particular residential area?

In any case, I think electric heating will become much more prevalent anyway since it's necessary for the clean energy transition. But that will take far longer than the current Russia crisis, so it's unfortunately no short term fix.
