Where in Canada? Almost everything on the nat gas grid has furnace heating. In the sticks you’ll have wood biomass, propane or kerosene heat.

Anyone using electric baseboards is getting highly subsidized electricity because any other energy source is cheaper.

Only place I saw baseboard heating was in school portables.

Québec. Then again that might be because of the low electricity prices there.
BC too. I imagine it goes hand in hand with hydro
I'm standing on floor heating at this very moment (off, of course). It uses district heating / hot water, which could be heated by any kind of energy source, including nuclear.
