Hurricane Earl has left thousands in Atlantic Canada without electricity.

Compared to the Maritimes, Newfoundland and Labrador got off pretty easy when it came to Hurricane Earl.

The remains found near Orangeville, Ont., on Sunday are human but police will not make a direct link with a woman who has been missing from the town since last Sunday.

Two people were killed and one injured Sunday in a head-on collision on Highway 20 near Drummondville, Que., about 80 kilometres northeast of Montreal.

The Royal Newfoundland Constabulary has confirmed that human remains found in a wooded area are those of a woman who went missing in July.
