Don't know about Ontario utility regulations, but here in the States, the electric company will rip off anything vine-like you grow onto a telephone pole the first time they see it or have to climb the pole to service it. They are ruthless here in Texas and don't even warn you. You just go out one day and the plant is gone. You might want to call and ask if that is their practice locally.
On the up side, you can move your pot to some other corner of your yard and provide an artificial tower or trellis to train it on. My passion flowers grow wild along our chain-link fence at our rural cabin property. It dies back to the ground in winter and comes back up in the spring with all new vines and blooms. I do nothing to it but enjoy the blossoms. Mother Nature waters and nurtures it exclusively.
