I believe most part of Quebec (and Ontario) do observe DST. I think the "Eastern Time - Ontario - most locations", should be renamed to "Eastern Time - Ontario & Quebec - most locations".

I believe those are generated from IANA's timezone database, which we updated for r151012.  It looks like there's been a new update post-freeze, but generally, we just compile those and run.

Here's an up to date list for Canada:  http://home.kpn.nl/vanadovv/time/Multizones.html#ca

I notice Quebec is split in three here, including one zone that does not honor DST.
