Winter storm leaves hundreds of thousands without power in Quebec

"It's been naughty," says Montrealer Yahya Hamsas on the winter weather before the holidays, as Quebec was hit by a storm Friday that left hundreds of thousands in the province without power. Pamela Pagano reports.

So green vehicles stranded because no hydro to power EV's while your home has no electricity. What if this went on for a week?Solar in winter is a joke at this point! At least I can get in my gas powered vehicle and go somewhere I choose!

Good Lord the planet must be melting or freezing Better get more Electric Cars on the Road . That will make the Canadian Snow go away. OH wait there No Power to Charge them . OH noo were all going to die.

Let's all drive electric vehicles, that should help the already compromised electrical grid.

I drove all day in Montreal in my tiny car, this was nothing, stop scaring people

[shaynhiggins]

oh look. typical winter weather in Canada. This has to be climate change 🙄

[brianschmunk]

Best of luck from western Canada MERRY CHRISTMAS, please say no to c21

[SillyBillies]

You would think Quebec would have good power grid with all those Alberta equalization payments

[bunnyniyori]

The irony is Quebec normally is a good power producer too. Just not good with nasty weather.

[beenerbag]

not even bad come to winnipeg then you’ll experience winter

2:09 looks like every Canadian city in March. How is this news?

[zaizoesclashing]

Lol you think they would shovel off their steps before they salted them

[danieldaigle]

You live in Canada. Its the same thing every year. Except for BC. Embrace it, make the most of it! <3

I have friends in Quebec who still have no power since Thursday morning with none in sight until maybe Monday night. 96 + hours in the cold.

[alainbelso]

It really is a nightmare before Christmas.. I guess all we can do is our best through it this year. Happy Holidays everyone!

Tel the guy with the white car to buy real snow tires. He didn’t need to shovel what was shown.

Pierre Poilievre did say "It's going to be dark winter" 😅 then government turned up their weather tech up a notch.

You Montrealers shouldn't complain. That's nothing compared to the accumulation we have in SW Ontario in the lee of Lake Huron. This morning I was cutting through 1.5 m thick drifts with my snow blower. Base accumulation here is at least 50 cm.

[johnnygreen]

Where’s your EV’s now folks. Ineffective. Wake up woke.

[robertlengyel]

That's no snow compared to what I got. Had to dig my car out of 3 ft of snow and it'd still snowing :p

[Groglor]

This looks like any christmas? That guy wasnt suppose to park on the street during a snow. The rest of Canada this is normal, we dont all live in ottawa.
