I am thinking of moving to Canada ( more like a holliday, it's only for 3 months ). I currently live in Belgium.
I've read that Canada doesn't have the same powerplugs as Belgium.

My question is, can I just buy other cables for my gadgets, laptop, etc... or is the amount of power in Canadian homes not enough or to much for appliances from Europe?

Can I buy converters, transformer or something else so that I can still use all my stuff in Canada?

If so, any Canadians out there who know a few online shops where I can order this stuff?

Is this what I need?
