In Canada, how many casualties were caused by earthquakes?
No casualities were ever directly related to Canadian earthquakes. In fact, Canadian earthquakes have never caused the collapse of a building. Only some injuries were caused by the fall of objects. Although it has been reported that a yound girl was killed during the 1732 Montreal earthquake, it has never been substanciated by independent sources. In Canada, the only loss of life related to an earthquake, although indirectly, were those caused by the tsunami created by the 1929 Grand Banks earthquake.
