Do I need a electricity converter in Canada if I am coming from the US? I plan on bringing a few things, such as a hiar dryer, cell phone and laptop, that I am hoping I can plug in there.

No, Canada has the same 110-volt electricity as the U.S.

the cell phone and laptop will be okay, but when you're using the hair dryer make sure you don't melt the igloo you're staying in.
Most igloos, however, do come equipped with a sufficient number of electrical outlets that do not require a converter.
Do be careful in Canada... it is a very foreign nation indeed and is inhabited mostly by savage Mountie-led tribes.

Yes, Canadian electricity is the same as in the US. It has to be, as we sell so much electricity to you. We share the same power grid.
110 Volt - 60 htz - 3 prong plug with a ground, and parallel pos/neg prongs above it. All of what you listed is fine. How do I know? I have brought stuff like that with me from Canada on trips to the US.
220 volt stuff is Europe.

No problems. They are on the same systems and you won't need a converter. In fact, most appliances sold in Canada were made in the US.

Canada does not have electricity. There is no point bringing that stuff.
