Depends on the part of the country. Ontario's standard grid mix is about 24% renewable (mostly large scale hydroelectric), 39% nuclear, and the rest being a mix of coal, oil & gas.

Newfoundland is over 80% hydroelectric. I don't have figures for Quebec, but it's probably up there as well. Alberta is <5% renewable.
