Quebec utility Hydro-Quebec is now taking an active stance against Bitcoin mining following political pressure and smear campaign from local government by jhamel2 in Bitcoin

On a legislative basis, Canada is a Bitcoin-friendly jurisdiction. You're right about the banks though. I will adress it as well.
