High speed winds cause damage and casualties in Ottawa and Ontario
Thursday April 28th 2011, winds climbed to 90 km/h in Ottawa and surrounding regions. 40 + 000 homes were left without electricity in the Outaouais region, some for two days.
There were some casualties; some trees fell on cars (some injured, and I believe some were killed... I'm not sure), and one man in Niagara Falls was killed by a flying garage door.
Overall, we can't entirely complain; Wen. Apr 27th '11 & Thurs. Apr 28th '11 over 150 tornadoes (most of which were force 5, the deadliest) tore through the southern United-States, killing over 300 people. I do feel sorry for these people... Alabama was declared in state of emergency by President Obama.

A car broke down on St-Laurent Blvd in Ottawa last Thursday during rush hour. No one was hurt, it just looks like the car ran out of gas. Traffic was severely delayed, but the car was towed pretty quickly.
Questions answered... somewhat.

Will Harper stay PM if he returns a minority government or not elected at all?

Oh, shocker, Tories hate the arts... (Click here and see!)
"This imposed silence is causing both exasperation and fear within an arts community concerned about looming problems on several cultural fronts. Heading this list is the Harper government's promise of a strategic review of all spending programs -and concern that federal cultural agencies such as the Canada Council, CBC and Telefilm will again be on the chopping block, or worse. Copyright reform -which could leave a creator's rights in jeopardy -is a major worry, along with the Harper government's ideologically motivated assaults on the independence of the Canadian Radio-Television Telecommunications Commission. However, what has raised the sector's anxiety level several notches higher is the Conservative response to a detailed questionnaire on arts policy that was dispatched to all the major parties on April 5 by The Canadian Conference of the Arts. As of now, the Harper government's reply has been a deafening non-reply. The most the CCA has been able to get out of the Tories is a bland, automated email from the Prime Minister's Office, acknowledging receipt of the questionnaire. So, last week, it decided it could wait no longer and made public a hefty, 13-page set of detailed responses from the other parties on wide-ranging issues such as copyright reform, Canada Council funding, multimedia technology and the fiscal problems of self-employed artists. The responses of all opposition parties are thoughtful and informed, and get right down to specifics. The Tories say nothing." - Jamie Portman, Postmedia News
