The Canadian and Ontario electrical codes require a fridge to have its
own dedicated circuit. (Actually, you're allowed to have an additional
outlet above the fridge location, on the same circuit, for a 120V AC
electric clock, which isn't commonly used or provided these days.) If
there are other things on the fridge circuit, you should remove them
if it's under your control. If these other items aren't under your
control, you should inform your landlord that it's a violation of the
electrical code.
If you're concerned about surges and brownouts caused by poor wiring,
overloaded circuits, heavy loads being switched on or off, or even
lightning, putting a UPS on the equipment you'd like to protect is a
good idea, as has been previously discussed.
