What the heck...earthquake in Canada?
CERI – Center for Earthquake Research and Information, this morning reports an earthquake with a magnitude of 3.5 [3.0 + being considered an actual quake] North of Ottawa. Estimates for the quake show it to have been centered somewhere approximately 100 miles NW of Ottawa in a relatively unpopulated region. Initially people were reporting it as being in New York state, but this was incorrect. The USGS often relates locations of quakes outside the USA to the nearest town inside the USA, which was a border community in New York. But in reality the quake was more than 150 N-NW of New York and the USA border.
This particular quake caught my attention because once again, it’s an area not normally found to have quakes…much less a 3.5 shaker and even odder was the depth of the quake, some 11+ miles down. This was a deep movement. If anyone is interested, you can check the usual locations for my information using the links below.

This would be false information as the Ontario/Quebec border frequents in earthquakes at least a few times a year and this is not unusual.
Ok, so this area has another ground shaking. What bothers me is this barely makes the news. Last summer we had a 5.0 from this region which i felt over 500km away. Eerie feeling, and after a little researching more than a few earthquakes have been reported here:

Another problem i have is that there is more than just earthquakes happening in this region lately. Apparently there is a caldera here too as big as Yellowstone:

Not only that there is sulfer bubbling up from the ground which indicates the volcano above is stirring to life

What does it take for someone to actually look into this? Why isn’t someone putting the pieces together, is it because it might cause the public to actually realize that this spot of land that we think is stable in the world — isn’t, and it could blow up right under our feet? If someone with some geological knowledge has some answers please comment and get in touch with someone for godsake.
Just to contradict the “EarthOfficial”—nice name by the way…but my information is not “false.” Until you have five to ten quakes a day, my friend, I wouldn’t call the occassional five to ten per YEAR to be frequent. [And before you ask, yes I do live in an area where we have frequent tremors 3.0 and below sometimes up to 10 and more per day.] This Canadian area is NOT known for large or deep quakes nor has it had any listed “recent” quakes. Don’t contradict or falsely accuse people if you have not evidence to support your claim. My information, as always, comes directly from CERI and USGS. I don’t make up stuff. My statement was quite clear.
“… it’s an area not normally found to have quakes.”
I was unable to actually find any records for a quake in that precise zone. Is it possible I’ve overlooked some recent and previous quakes in that spot…very possible actually. If I have, I invite you to provide some links to me on the matter and I’ll be happy to eat my shoe and adjust my article.
I understand the concern (and I would B2)if I lived near a quake/fault-line, and if I did, think I’d be moving–soon.
It always amazes me that the huge cities on earth and populations seem to cluster around “unstable’ areas. This applies to war-torn areas, too. People seem to stay – no matter what, and learn to “live with it”. Since I’ve moved 34 times in 57 years (just due to regular circumstances, and bad neighbours)..I’ve learned to travel light.
I do believe there is a major fault-line off the Atlantic Coast (although this claim is not researched by myself). It was told to me by a Canadian Coast Guard employee.)If it’s there, could it be a factor?
As one reader pointed out, I couldn’t find any news on this Canadian quake. This WAS THE FIRST INFO. I could find.
Great Site!
Thank you. Like I said, I assume the area is not normal for earthquakes since I could not locate any previous listings for any quakes in that immediate area. The person who disputed my report on this has not yet supplied any information to the contrary and was also found to be plagiarizing other people’s stories…so at this point I’m not going to put too much stock in her comments. It would be interesting though, to find out for certain if there is in fact a fault in that area, or as the one commenter noted, to find out if it’s related to volcanic activity. If anyone has any more information about this remote region, please post here and let me know. I’ll be happy to amend any errors or update this quake information.
Not exactly rare in these parts. The Ski resort Mount Tremblant is near that small quake, and the name translates roughly in to English as “Trembling Mountain”. Quakes have been going on here for millions of years. Usually Less than 4.0. The largest ever recorded was a 6.1 around 75 years ago.
Jacks Report: Check out the Canadian Site : http://earthquakescanada.nrcan.gc.ca/recent/index-eng.php
You will see that Earth Official is correct. There are regions in Canada that have earth quakes on a fairly regular basis. No big deal.
Frankly, people are going crazy over many quakes so small that you wouldn’t even feel if you were standing on them. Chill folks.
The Ski resort Mount Tremblant is not even close to that quake. This quake has nothing to do with this mountain. The reason why there are only few quakes in most provinces of Canada is the Canadian Shield, also called the Laurentian Plateau. It seems that quakes usually occur on the border of the Canadian Shield. Yes it is rather unsual to observe quakes in this region, but it does not mean that something major is going on.
Poseidan: It is NOT UNUSUAL for quakes in this region. IN FACT THERE HAS BEEN 13 QUAKES in south Eastern Quebec in the last 30 days. I would call that common. Would you not ?
Last Year there were more than 30 Quakes. While the Precambrian Shield is relatively stable, there are thousands of tiny faults. And we have many minor quakes.
Most of Canadian quakes do not occur on the border of the Shield. In fact most occur on the west coast which is more than 1,500 km west of the western edge of the Canadian Shield.
The use of Mount Tremblant was as a metaphor. It was named centuries ago and guess what, South Easter Quebec had earth quakes then as well.
Small program available on net called “EQuake3d”. Shows up todate quakes worldwide as they happen. Controls allow custom to set magnitude and global settings. I have been using it for several weeks and am amazed at the number of quakes worldwide unreported. Try it and pass it on. Stay up todate on your own. It updates instantly on cable or DSL.
this is nether news nor uncommon. seriously people educate yourselves before posting. stop trying to cause fear

OMG! People…please…I just reported an unusual little quake in the middle of nowhere, Canada. I thought it unusual because quakes in that area either aren’t recorded or simply don’t get reported or logged down enough to seem common. If you live there and there’s lots of quakes…my apologies. I never claimed to be the all-seeing guru of quake-ology here. And I resent the fact someone accused me of spreading fear. JacksReport always posts fact-checks. I never said the end was nigh or anything even near that. It’s just a note on a quake…with facts. End of story. I’ll delete this article if you folks don’t all take a chill pill and stop being weird about it.
To anonymous poster on eQuake3D…thank you…I’ll check that out. I’m already using the GoogleEarth USGS plugin for quake monitoring but it’s always nice to have secondary sources.
