I doubt that Alberta needs as much A/C as Texas does. 
For what it's worth, I'm also in Texas and I don't have gas service in the house -- everything is electric. Winter heating is through the heat pump and my winter electric bills average a little less than half of the summer bills. We used 1300 kWh last month and usually around 700 in the winter. In the shoulder seasons when little heating or cooling is needed (about three weeks in April and November here!), we may use about 500.
