  I didn't know earthquakes happened in Canada...I know it sounds stupid.
  I've never felt one :S I guess when i was young there was a really little one but i didn't feel it.

  
  
  They happen. Rarely, but they do happen. The last one I can remember was that 5.1 Magnitude earthquake in Plattsburgh in 2002. I was asleep at the time, but it was enough to get everyone in my town and school to talk about it the next day. So it'll probably be another decade or so before another semi-decent strength earthquake hits the North American Northeast.

  Then why would you feel it unless you lived close to Canada?

  that was crazy, thought someone was banging into the walls at my house.
  I live in Toronto, and the last time an earthquake happened was when i was in like 5th grade, and I didnt even feel it cause I was on the second story of a building. I was a little bit scared to tell you the truth!

  What he's trying to say is: If you don't live near Canada, why do you think that you would feel it?

  Because I have not the slightest clue where Vermont is, and I'm saying that I just didn't feel it :what:

  But Vermont isn't part of Canada. Time for you to learn some geography if you don't even know that Vermont is a state. D:

  Here in London, Ontario too. But apparently I missed it listening to music. My co-workers all felt it though =/

  I didn't feel anything here.
  
  But my city does rest on a new fault line anyway.

  That lone red area to the right side is where I live.
  
  Ya know, around the middle of the yellow.

  Canada does get a number of earthquakes every year (including quite a few in the Southwestern Ontario area), but the majority are a magnitude of 2 or less, so you basically don't feel them, but seismic equipment will still pick it up.

  Felt, and I'm in Ohio.

  We felt it at work. On the 7th floor of a huge building. I was assembling a server and then the screws on the table started to move D:
  The first thing I did was ask the fat guy if he farted but he said he didn't that time.
