i think the creator is good. I think they are just scraping different power company outage maps. If you look in some places there's 0 data because the power company doesn't have a true outage map

Yeah, and for context, there is a Canada version of the map.

Euh, I don't think Manitoba Hydro has 600,000 customers in Québec. I wouldn't trust that map.

If you go on the page for Manitoba Hydro, it says there is 1 customer in Quebec: "South Cypress". Although South Cypress is a municipality in Manitoba.

Seems like a data issue where the municipality was double-counted and one in Quebec for some reason.
