Government gets its money from spending the money.

They don't use Loonies anywhere else.

As my Canadian aunt says: money is made round to go around.

The cost of hook up is the time of the people to do that job, which means they can't do anything else.

Is Canada that short of electrical engineers that it can't maintain its current grid and add new connections?

It's more a problem of population density vs the cost of setting up and maintaining the infrastructure.
