Abstract—This paper summarizes the changes in Canada’s if achieving the full transition of Wind-Water-Solar energy system. It shows both cost and benefit of transitioning Canada to WWS energy. The purpose is to provide an outlook of a possible Canadian low-carbon future. All analysis is based current data, and it takes Canada regardless of different provinces and territories or other possible environment or political limitations. The energy demand and the resources demand are analysed; the reduced cost from multiple aspects after transition are being calculated to directly show reductions. The cost result shows positive trend for alleviate governmental climate cost which is encouraging Canadian government to establish and implement more environmental related policies. However, the transition would require large number of efforts of not only the governments, but also all residents in Canada. This can be challenging because it hits the bottom line of oil tycoons and other BAU energy companies. In addition, promoting people to use WWS equipment comprehensively is also difficult since the economy situation can be fluctuated over years and people are tending to what they are already getting used to.
