As it turns out, they figure the one storm produced 6 tornadoes.

The last time I heard of something like that happening was that episode of ST:TNG where the Q woman who grew up on Earth caused a similar storm.
Not being a jerk: only reference I can think of is from science fiction.

No worries. I’m really not that thin-skinned. To Canadians, tornadoes are rarities. In the areas I am familiar with, I had heard of one in Sherbrooke (hill country, no less!) during my mother’s schoolchild years there, then the one that hit Aylmer nearly a quarter century ago, and now this. I would guess that Tornado Alley has seen this kind of density (for lack of a better word) a number of times. Our American friends in that region should be able to tell us.

I drove through Barrie on highway 400 just after the 1985 tornado. It was a mess.

When I was a kid, it just wasn’t Saturday morning without Jehovah’s Witnesses knocking on the front door, and hearing my mum yelling, “We’re Catholic! No THANK YOU!”
They had a university just a few minutes down the road from us.
This does not surprise me at all.

If this doesn’t define Canada, I don’t know what does. Read on, and you will see what I mean - this isn’t just catering to ex-pat Montrealers.

Yep, that’s Canadian, all right.

In today’s “even municipal elections have consequences”, if Leonard Krog becomes mayor of Nanaimo, then there will need to be a provincial by-election that could completely and utterly change the BC government.
I mean he may not win. If he does win, his seat could go to another NDPer and change nothing. But the potential to change, or trigger a new provincial election is there.
There are no elections too small to care about.

Some interesting stuff, here, including the case of the kid whose parents inspired The Americans.
