Don't forget that the OP asked:
In Ontario, according to one simplified guide, you can have up to 12
outlets
per circuit -- either light outlets or plug outlets, or both. But
after studying the guide, I'm not clear on this:

Does a standard AC wall outlet with two receptacles count as one
"outlet"
or two?

It is true. The Canadian Electrical Code allows a maximum of 12
outlets per circuit for 15A lighting and general purpose circuits.
The CEC does not require a dedicated circuit for a wall A/C, but it is
recommended.

Maybe he was asking about AC as opposed to DC and wasn't asking about
A/C at all?
