I think the whole blame thing is absurd. The grids are interconnected like threads in a sheet. If you cut one, the whole thing will come apart. When it comes to infrastructure, Canada and the USA are basically one state, it seems to me. Our waterways, roads, railroads, fuel and energy conduits... it's all one big network. The people in New York may as well be blaming the people in Michigan, it makes as much sense. Regardless of where it happened, it happened, and it would have happened the same way anywhere else. Pointing fingers is the wrong way to go about repairing the damage done, especially for us Canadians, considering the damage done to the CA/US relationship by Ottawa in the last few months/years.
