 The buffers have and oval shape because they are displayed in a non-projected spatial reference system (WGS 84) to fit with the raster layer. In the database they were created in a projected coordinate system (NAD 83/Quebec Lambert) and are truly circle all of equal area. You can observe that southern buffers, again because they are displayed in a non-projected spatial reference system, are smaller (less wide) than the northern ones. If we would display everything in NAD 83/Quebec Lambert, they would all be of the same circle shape. But we can't do this because our raster are in WGS 84 and PostGIS do not support raster reprojection yet.
