clive, 2 months ago @evan I always remember reading that the Canadian shield, the massive geologic formation underneath Ontario and Quebec, is really tectonically stable

mpjgregoire, 2 months ago @clive @evan The largest earthquake in the history of Canada had an epicentre near La Malbaie, Québec. That was in 1663, so there weren't many vulnerable buildings around... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1663_Charlevoix_earthquake Noticeable earthquakes in Eastern Canada are rare, but can be very large. See https://www.earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/hazard-alea/zoning-zonage/NBCC2020maps-en.php for maps identifying areas with higher seismic hazard. #earthquakes #seismic
