On November 13-14, 2013, GridEx II will exercise NERC (North American Reliability CORPORATION) and industry crisis response plans and identify actionable improvement recommendations for plans, security programs, and skills. The scenario will build on lessons learned from GridEx 2011 and include both cybersecurity and physical security components.

This is a "simulated exercise"
to practice crisis response and information sharing. No real power outages will occur due to this exercise.
How this will affect Canada , who knows. A lot of sources did say it is North American wide mentioning USA Canada and Mexico.
What will really happen?, maybe nothing to talk about, or maybe something interesting will take place who knows.
A lot of people believe that Corporations are good and FOR the people, so lets wait and see.
