Fallen branches on a car a day after freezing rain and strong winds cut power to more than a million people in Canada’s two most populated provinces, in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, April 6, 2023. hit Canada’s two most-populated provinces ahead of a holiday weekend, bringing freezing rain and strong winds that toppled trees and weighed down power lines.
Electricity providers in both provinces were working to restore power, but repairs were expected continue for days, meaning many Canadians could spend Easter weekend in the dark.One man was killed in Quebec when a tree fell on him, Premier Francois Legault said at a briefing, cautioning people to watch out for live wires and weakened trees. Another man died in eastern Ontario when he was struck by a falling branch, broadcaster CTV News reported.
“It’s a very difficult moment … the power being down for so many folks, the trees coming down, hurting buildings and cars and whatnot, is of course an ongoing concern,” Trudeau told reporters on a street in his district as crews cleaned up a fallen tree behind him. “Seeing all these beautiful trees down, seeing lives disrupted, seeing similar challenges … will be a difficult Easter weekend for a number of families,” Trudeau said.
