On Saturday, Canada was struck by an extreme cold wave driven by a stationary polar vortex over the western regions. Authorities warned that wind chills could plummet to minus 55 degrees Celsius in the Prairies and between minus 30 and minus 45 degrees Celsius in Ontario, the nation’s industrial heartland. The severe conditions led to widespread flight cancellations and delays, including at Montreal and Toronto airports, two of the busiest in the country. The Meteorological Service of Canada and emergency agencies urged residents to take extreme precautions against exposure to the cold.
