I'm expecting my 85D in late March,and I've joked with co-workers that I would drive directly to Drummondville from my Montreal delivery and SUPERCHARGE on day 1 of my Tesla ownership .So lets hope it happens for me.

Annoying, for sure, but at least its a delay of a few minutes rather than the potential few hours you'd have on a Level 2 unit.
Montreal is more of a destination, at least for me, so I don't really need a Supercharger there. If that location becomes overcrowded, I wouldn't be surprised to see an additional Montreal area site go up, but in a place where you can skirt the city, for example on the Autoroute 30.
With the benefit of hindsight, it's clear a few mistakes were made with Drummondville. That and Murphy's law explain why the site is still not completed. However, you can expect the next few Quebec sites to go up much more quickly.
Yes, provided the owner has enough sense to return to his car promptly as opposed to eating a big meal at Baton Rouge around the corner.
The car might be charged in half an hour but the owner might not be back for an hour and a half.

Good manners would be to leave a phone number on display if you are away from your charging car.

This is indeed a big risk at any charging station. Fortunately, Superchargers typically have redundancy so even if some jerk hogs the stall all night you don't have to sit and wait on them.
I made up a little placard with my contact info to leave in the driver's door window for when I'm away from the car (usually overnight at a hotel)

I play a nice person on twitter.
Tesla has already shown that they add stations at a location if the traffic bears it out. If those SC stations are heavily used, they'll expand. They've done it at plenty of other locations.

For those unaware, Drummondville is getting 8 stalls and is probably only missing its transformer. Ok maybe some cleanup too

It seems like the Drummondville SC may be going online soon (fingers crossed!)

Quartier 10/30 would be a perfect spot for a SuperCharger... people coming from let's say Toronto, wouldn't have to be stuck in the Montréal traffic... they would use the Highway 30 toll bridge at Vaudreuil and 20 minutes after they would be at the quartier 10/30 SuperCharger (by the way, I don't know if you knew guys but the ALT Hotel at the Quartier 10/30 has HPWC...)

The easiest to get out from 10/30 is by the Highway 30 (exit 67)...
Other than that it's a PITA... though, Tesla users would probably pass by the Highway 30 anyway so not that bad for a SuperCharger...
