Nothing...but then you get into areas of insurance, civil and criminal
responsibility,
not to mention electrical and building code standards. You aren't going to
get
100 or 200 amp service to another residence using an extension cord from
Canadian Tire...

If someone is injured on your property, depending on the circumstances,
you can be held liable in both criminal and civil proceedings. Even people
you may personally consider as unwelcome on your property, i.e. the
kid that fills your mail box with flyers, the paperboy who cuts through
your yard, the neighbour on his way to two doors down to jump your
other neighbour's wife,  JW's ringing your doorbell at 8 AM
Sunday morning, etc...

I haven't bothered looking up the terms of Manitoba Hydo's residential
service contract, but I would suspect there is some prohibition about
it...
