Does Quebec have a massive number of datacentres? They're close the Eastern seaboard and have cheap electricity and relatively cold too.

Quebec does have a few. Amongst the issues is that scaling hydro power is hugely expensive, is riddled with red tape, and over all takes too long. Meanwhile you could build a datacenter and a solar farm in Texas and be up in 2 years.
