Daisy chaining is irrelevant to the problem that you can buy 18ga "lighting-only" extensions that bear a 15A rated NEMA 15R but are limited to 8A.
Daisy chaining a power bar with it's own circuit breaker can be ideal if it prevents someone from making the mistake of using a circuit in a way that trips a panel breaker, ie preventing your spouse from plugging a vacuum into a circuit shared by several rooms.
It's not about simply "allowing" judgment; it's about the credibility of those passing judgment. Experience, education, and critical thinking are the pillars upon which valid judgments stand.
Basing one's opinion heavily on one experience, viewed from the outside, is a demonstration of anchoring bias and egocentric bias respectively. Outside perspective cannot include what personal revelations or trauma processing is going on inside the head of the "apathetic" experiencer. It overlooks the diversity of experiences and potential reasons behind the observed behaviour, and is intellectually dishonest in avoiding the other cannabis consumption methods which points to a lack of depth in judgment.
Indeed, a person with a strongly held opinion based on an anecdote, wrought with textbook cognitive biases, is the kind of person who would deny themselves the opportunity to see their cognitive bases in action because of their snap judgment. Should we value judgments made by this kind of person? What kind of person should impose rules on others?
Interested to know the source for that 10% number.
Using this tool I'm seeing 12 months consumption at 17.4% gas. Last 30 days 28.47% (61% capacity). Gas capacity has been phased out as base load.

Ontario will be dependent on 2000MW (~10% of demand) which has to come from areas also facing shortfalls. NERC puts the majority of the US as well as Ontario in "elevated risk in above-normal conditions".

Rolling blackouts could happen in “extreme but plausible scenarios” like a "once in a decade" heat wave (NERC).
We're facing climate change temps, population growth strained infrastructure and phased out gas plants. I hope it doesn't happen, but the possibility is worth having a personal plan.
This is outright false[0] - 27% of Ontario's power is gas, with a possibility of 59% nuclear[1] but the nuclear infrastructure in Ontario is aging and shutdowns/refurbishments is pushing Ontario towards >50% gas (and imported coal/gas) as of this summer[2]. Further, per IESO[3] Ontario is facing a 2GW shortfall this August. Maybe if not mismanaged, Ontario could be an exporter - but the joke is that's not the case anymore
