"This region will be carbon-neutral and powered almost entirely by clean, renewable hydro power." ... Like anyone living in that province.

Considering the low Canadian dollar and the low cost of electricity, will the pricing be different for people hosting in this zone?

I also saw that as taking undeserved credit at first, but the fact is, this region will be carbon-neutral and they are right to advertise it as such for those who would be interested in hosting in a carbon-neutral environment.

But they chose to put their datacentre in that province, possibly because of the accessible clean power. Why shouldn't they be allowed to advertise it?

Hydro power is a legitimate draw to get businesses into Quebec.
