voltage

*Watts per outlet

Static shocks off your body are 20,000 to 25,000 volts, but that's not going to power a microwave or kill an elephant. (This myth is your fault high voltage signs)

http://thednetworks.com/2012/06/10/why-does-ukusa-use-110120v-and-others-use-220240v/

US outlets supply all energy on one 120v line, while European outlets run two 120v wires with the current split between the two (less per wire, more overall).

The US is using the worse, less safe format, capable of less output. I'm sure you're surprised. You are too, Canada. We must be rubbing off on you.
