I'd like to add a +1 to the frozen north. I have a few clients in Canada who would like to have their servers closer to home. Mostly to get them out of the USA.
+1 for this. There are clients in Canada who cannot legally have their data (including emails and anything even remotely confidential or personal) on servers which reside outside of Canadian borders. Doctors / Health Groups, for example, are legally obligated to hold all their data in Canadian data centres. I'd love to see a Canadian data centre up here in Canada, and would gladly move my other services from other providers (namely DigitalOcean) if a Canadian location is provided.
+1 As @DustinDauncey said, lot of canadian organizations are not legally allowed to have their datas outside of Canada, but also lot of my customers don't like the idea of having their data in USA because of the Patriot Act and political reasons. Yes, there is the option of having the servers in another continent for those who are not legally bound, but this is not optimal.
We appreciate your feature requests, and we keep the development team informed about them. We can't speculate about what they are planning, but we announce new features when they are released here: https://www.vultr.com/news/

Yes. Please add a 2nd Canadian data centre. I would love to have some redundancy by location for my servers.
