Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday started a tour of Atlantic Canada, where thousands were still without power after record-setting storm Fiona ravaged the country's east coast, tossing homes into the sea and killing at least three people.
on Saturday as a post-tropical storm with powerful winds, rainfall and high waves, the hurricane centre said.
DBRS credit rating agency said the storm could result in record insured losses for the Atlantic provinces, putting the initial estimate between C$300 million and C$700 million . But the industry should be able to deal with the blow as the Atlantic Canada property insurance market is relatively small, it said.By Tuesday morning more than a quarter of electricity customers in Nova Scotia were still without power.
The potato harvest was just underway when Fiona hit and the rain it left behind may rot crops in low-lying areas, said Greg Donald, general manager of the PEI Potato Board.
