I spent my early years growing up in N Quebec. Those hydro facilities had dams and reservoirs. They could be operated in a load following mode economically because when you didn’t produce power you didn’t lose water. Ontario on the other hand has a huge leak in it’s main hydro “dam “. If you examine the IESO dataset you will see that Ontario’s hydro runs as baseload. In Ontario the IESO dataset clearly shows that gas backs up the wind/solar resource when supply can’t match load.
