Use this source: https://afdc.energy.gov/fuels/electricity_locations.html#/analyze?fuel=ELEC and filter it to DC Fast Chargers
And there's only 185 charging locations in Quebec (with 529 ports, which is NOT how they should be counted).

This is a bad analysis. Chargers per car is only one way to look at it. What about chargers per capita, chargers per road km, chargers person per land area, etc... oh? In all of those metrics Canadian provinces are leaders? You don't say.

I don't really know the area or charger quality, but there's a 50kW Ivy station in Geraldton, a total of 38km away from Longlac, Ont.
The Departure Bay (near downtown Nanaimo) BC Ferry takes 95minutes of sailing to reach Horseshoe Bay on the west tip of West Vancouver. Then if you're a foot passenger it takes another 41minutes to get to Granville & Georgia via the 257 Express Bus. Total 156minute (2hr & 36min) travel time (excluding any waiting to embark, disembark, catch the bus, etc...).
Foot passenger fees for each leg are $19.45 and $3.15, for a $22.60 total.
It's going very well in Vancouver and most of its suburbs.

This is an "opinion" writeup in a fringe publication. Why bother sharing such slanted views on our world?
There's no time domain or data source given in these. 0.2TWh could be tiny if it's annual, or huge if it's daily.
I assume it's merely that they import energy from neighbours.
Here's a map of who exported electricity in Europe in 2022, and who imported: https://www.powerengineeringint.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/EU-Interconnector-Map-H2-2022.jpg
This is a Canadian sub lemmy.
There's multiple at Markville Mall, one is East Markham at the Scotiabank on HWY48, a set of them at the Hyundai Canada head office that are open to the public, and two Tesla supercharger sites in addition to the two you mentioned. That's just the DC Fast chargers, there's more than a few level 2 chargers at grocery stores, civic centres, and shopping malls.
