Earthquakes are not very common in this region, although they do happen because of fault lines located in Southern Ontario, but this 5.1 earthquake that rolled through Oakville yesterday was centered north of Ottawa, Ontario.
A slight rolling sensation lasted about 15 seconds and felt like a local 3.5-4.0.
There was no damage locally, but some broken dishes and even a guy that fell off of his ladder while working on his house near Ottawa.
So you don't need to live in California to experience an earthquake. Earthquakes can happen, even in Oakville, Ontario!
