...to a Canadian city near you.
-- VANCOUVER -- BC Hydro says it could be several hours before power is restored to a large swath of the downtown core that lost power around 9:30 Monday morning.

Ms. Danard said BC Hydro is still trying to figure out how may customers have been affected by the outage.

BC Hydro's own downtown corporate office building is one of those without power.

RELATED: Think it couldn't happen here?
Ontario remains extremely vulnerable to brownouts, and desperately in need of new and reliable electricity sources to power Canada's industrial heartland (we're talking about 40 per cent of the Canadian economy here).

Ontario's neighbouring states, notably New York, Ohio and Michigan, are looking at many of the same challenges of capacity and sustainable development.
