TORONTO, ONTARIO — (Marketwire) — 07/22/11 — Temperatures are high across North America, and things are no different in Canada. With many parts of Ontario officially declaring the first heat wave of the season, shorts, tank tops, and flip flops are a must in the battle to keep cool. Air conditioners are also a major player in keeping Canadians cool, which also means higher energy consumption and ultimately higher cooling bills.
