54% of Vancouver's CO2 emissions come from natural gas home heating so yep, banning it makes tons of sense.

I couldn't find the source but I think there actually might be a carve out to continue to allow for natural gas for cooking, but in practice, no one but the foolish super rich (or perhaps some professional commissary kitchens) is going to go to the bother of doing a nat gas hookup for for a stove, so gas stoves are going to become deprecated as a side effect of the more impactful change around home heating.

Even in commercial cooking, gas is on the way out. I help run a catering business and at least in our kitchens, induction is far preferred to gas. It’s not ideal for wok cooking as understand it (without a specialist stove), but for everything else the speed and control of induction is unmatched.
