I did a visual check of the outside cabling tonight and did not see
anything out of the ordinary...

I am now proceeding to verify all outlets and switches on the circuits
that get affacted.

What I really don't understand is how lets say breaker 10 and 14 are
affected but 12, 13 and 15 keep going like there was nothing wrong
(those 5 breakers are all 110v)...


Assuming Canada is like the US, the only oddity is number 12. The
even breakers are on one phase, and the odd breakers are on the other
phase, so check your other odd and even to see if they keep up the
pattern.

Wait. YOu say "lets say" so we don't know if 12 is good or not.


Canada is different, where they use Federal Stab-Lok panels, where
adjacent breakers can be on the same leg.
