The damage left behind from the huge ice storm that swept through parts of the Midwest U.S. and Canada has left many without power for Christmas. In Toronto, over 100,000 homes and businesses in the region are without heat or electricity as of this morning.

Mayor Rob Ford says that getting everyone's power back by Christmas Day won't be possible. Toronto Hydro's CEO has warned that more snow and wind expected in the coming days will only cause more trees and utility poles to fall.
