McGill is actually considered part of the American Ivy League for some reason.
It has to do with football. The Ivy League is a reference to the football league of those east coast colleges. McGill isn't formally in that league, but the game itself was introduced to Harvard from McGill in a series of 19th century games that subsequently led to the Ivy League. As such, spiritually Ivy League adjacent. Also, it's an old, major, Eastern university that's well reputed and has alot of historical similarities.
That partly explains it which is why McGill is not the best example to use. I knew two McGill graduates in the recent past that (obviously) did not stay in Montreal as they now live in Greater Boston but it's because the school's reputation is considered so good that students from all over apply to it and then leave after obtaining their degrees. I think it is less on account of the language reason or little love for Montreal than the social reputation of the students attending the school. Believe me, a lot of Harvard graduates do not stay in Boston after graduation even though Boston is subjectively too bad of a city to be in and our salaries in most fields are quite competitive. They already had their minds set to leave after graduation. Many students in the top schools are atypical of the rest of the pack in this regard.
That would be perfectly fine if McGill were a private university like Harvard.
The only English CEGEP in Deep Francophonia is Champlain.
Most of the population (including most of the francophone pop) is in the southern part of the province from Gatineau to Montreal to Sherbrooke and is therefore within easy striking distance of the anglophone CEGEPs and also of Quebec's three anglophone universities.
Quebec City is really the only main population centre outside of this axis, and as you say it has an anglophone CEGEP. (Though no anglophone university.)
Also, francophone CEGEPs in some of the outer regions do sometimes have an anglophone "wing". By this I mean "three Rs" type learning all in English, and not just English language classes in an otherwise French institution.
Looks like a Catholic Church in the middle of Dawson.
Dawson is a repurposed convent so, that is literally what it was.
