As is so often the case, it entirely depends WHERE you are.

In the more southern parts of ontario heating is predominently gas (be
it natural gas or propane) or less commonly oil.

In more northern parts electricity comes more and more into play. Mostly
resistive, but heat pumps are also something you see from time to time.
Wood is also VERY common in more rural areas.
