I would like to run 12x600w in the basement. Its a small house. I pay all my bills on time. Would the spike in power useage tip them off? Im from eastern Canada

It depends on how that usage compares with your historical average, the historical average of your area, and how prevalent grow operations are in your area.

I'd be a lot more worried about thermal emissions, smell, and getting caught selling.

I agree.... Maybe youcould do it in stages over 6 months so there's no spike but a gentle rise

They dont monitor useage that closely... they have a reading which is taken between every quarter and every year (here in the UK that is) which is why you can steal electricity without them knowing. they may find it strange that youve used more kwh than before but as previously said, as long as you pay it you can blag your running a kiln or something else which uses alot of energy.
