Due to geography and population distribution, it's likely easier (and more profitable) to export electricity south to the US. Almost all of Hydro-Quebec's focus has been trying to get new
pipelines transmission lines to New England and New York.
And I'm not sure there is all that much excess supply during high demand periods in the winter; during a cold snap in January Quebec hit record usage of over 40 GW.
