Interesting Ken.
I knew Montreal had some seismic tendencies, and near my university, a 100k south-east of Montreal, we apparently had some 3's. Never felt those, perhaps too much swaying induced by libations.
I cant support this as fact, but I heard when I was a kid, that the CN was meant for Montreal but was done in Toronto because of the earthquake risk. But it was built to survive an 8.5 anyway. If you have ever been to Montreal, it would be leveled by a 6+, so many raised highways, built in the cheap 70's....
