1962	The Grey Cup (Canadian Football Championship) continued for 2 days in Toronto in dense fog. The fog was so thick that spectators in the upper stands could not see the other side of the field.
1912	A dispute over hauling coal lead to an attempt to blow up the Trent River Bridge in British Columbia.
