This just translated from a Radio-Canada story:
Quote:
Prime minister cabinet says the power outrage was caused by a lighting that fallen on the american power plant of Niagara Mohawk in Buffalo area. The surge on the power plant then hit other powerplants in a chain reaction.

Hydro-Ottawa company says they where importing electricity from the north of the United States when the outrage occured in the Niagara Mohawk plant. Since this plant is the link between the two country networks this caused a chain reaction that caused the outrage on the ontario side.

Sorry if the translation is not perfect.
