No, that's not at all analogous, and I'd say you know it. Steaks vary a whole lot based on the cut, the animal itself, what it is fed, how it is cooked, etc.
Electricity coming out of your wall sockets (no matter what condition it is, how it is generated, what the voltage is) is not going to be changed by a cable--unless that cable is of too low a gauge and offers resistance.
Now if you were talking about changing out the power supply in your electronics, I might give it some credence--it's well known that crummy power supplies can wreak all kinds of havoc.
If power cords could make a difference in how electronics work (in other words, reduce errors, because that's what we're talking about here), I guarantee you that IT managers would be replacing their server power cables with $300 cables as well. Guess what? We're not.
And I'm not Canadian, either.
