a counrty not on the fault like is unlikly to have a earthquake
Yes, there have been instances of an earthquake on one fault line can trigger one on anther fault. It is even suspected that the December 26, 2004 earthquake in Indonesia triggered a smaller earthquake in Alaska.

A fault is the zone where two tectonic plates meet. An earthquake is vibration through the earth caused when the two plates on a fault line slide past each other.
The Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault
The Tangshan region lies on the Tangshan-Hejian-Cixian fault zone, which is considered one of the most active fault systems in the North China Basin. This fault zone has been associated with significant seismic activity, including the 1976 Tangshan earthquake.
No an earthquake is caused because in that certain area where the earthquake was , there was a fault line.
The fault that caused the 1995 Kobe earthquake was the Nojima fault.

Kobe is on the nojima fault line
The odds of Ontario to have a large scale earthquake is slim to none due to the fact that Ontario doesn't sit on a fault line. The fault lines are what causes earthquake. For example, San Fransisco sits directly on top of the San Andreas fault line. When an earthquake hits, the impact is always devastating. Even recently with the 7.0 earthquake in Haiti, Haiti sits close to the Carribean fault line. This is what caused the Earthquake. Waterloo Ontario had an earthquake @1:48pmr June 23 2010 "3.5 or higher"
A fault line.

It is a California Earthquake fault line
ponderosa fault line
Earthquake/volcanic activity occur almost exactly the fault line where plates about
