They also need them there for current architecture up and back service to rural Atlantic Canada.

You’d build more central for that though, no? Otherwise you’re just covering a lot of ocean (until inter-sat links are up and running).

You would cover a lot of ocean but you'd also cover all of rural Newfoundland. I believe there's also a site somewhere in Nova Scotia. Dozens of starlink earth stations are now up and running.
