MONTREAL—Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in his Montreal riding of Papineau on Thursday to see first-hand the damage done by an ice storm that’s left over a fifth of the province’s households without electricity.

“It’s a very difficult moment for Montrealers, for people across the region who have been hit by this ice storm,” Trudeau said alongside Montreal Mayor Valérie Plante.
