Electric kettles must be increasingly common, if only because they tend to hang around indefinitely. Maybe they're a little more common in Canada, but after visiting here and loving mine, my mum had no trouble finding one in a department store in Kentucky. Seems to me college dorm stories increasingly mention having electric kettles as the one form of cooking that's allowed (with students subsisting on instant oatmeal and ramen noodles). I've been told a few times that an electric kettle is the fastest and most energy-efficient way of boiling water, too. The latter part is unconfirmed by me, but the ones I've used have all seemed quicker than boiling on a gas range (which seems wrong, but hey).

Sorry to hear about your water troubles, anyway.
