I'd still be interested why they think it's worth doing in Europe but not in Canada, especially given generally more severe weather in Canada.

Under grounding was done as a matter of course in Europe many years ago (the only debate being whether the cost would be passed onto the customers). Maybe the government just decided that the cost was worth it and decided buried cables would be the regulated standard (just as standards for many things get raised over time) ... and in Canada they just don't care.

Certainly, high voltage lines are another matter in terms of complication ... but even those are buried in some locations.
