What are you talking about? the electricity used in Montréal is not produced by burning anything. We have the huge dams in Manicouagan and Baie James.
In the USA, yes, they burn a lot, but it's ok for the USA, because the resulting acid rain travels to Montréal before falling anyway, so, it's not important.
