wooden power line poles are called "hydro poles" in canada because they are associated with hydro-electric power.

more than that. A lot of places it's a hydro bill, not power/eletric(ity) bill.

In BC it's called BC Hydro, that's why I call it my hydro bill. I'd probably call my natural gas bill my Fortis (Fortis BC) bill but I don't have NG.

I just call it our gas bill. In my adult lifetime it has been Fortis, Terasen, and BC Gas.

For most of Canada it is.

These make up the majority so for most Canadians it is indeed hydro.
