But the ISS’s orbital path doesn’t take it much above Hudson’s Bay, or an I mistaken in that?

The ISS's orbit is inclined 51.6 degrees; the southernmost point of Hudson Bay is at 51.2 degrees latitude or so (from Google Maps). So the ISS just barely goes over Hudson Bay.
In Europe, 51.6 north is roughly the latitude of London, Amsterdam, Berlin, or Warsaw.
