There are many huge storms in Canada like tornados ....
They are very big in their own little way
--
Hurricane Hazel (1954) is still considered one of the worst storms to hit Canada.
The Ice Storm (1998) caused extensive damage over a large area of Canada.
Numerous tornadoes have cause great damage and deaths.
The Pacific Storm (1996) dumped 85 cm on the Victoria BC area in about 24hrs.
It's a long, long list of big storms
Officially, the strongest tornado in Canada was the Elie, Manitoba tornado of June 22, 2007. To date it is the only tornado in Canadian history to have been rated F5. It was not particularly large but it was intense enough to inflict F5 damage to the edge of the town of Elie. Only a few homes were destroyed and nobody was killed. A few other tornadoes, officially rated F4, have caused more damage and fatalities because they were larger and struck populated areas more directly.
It depends on the tornado. If it is a single vortex tornado the winds near at the edge of the core will be the fastest. However, many of the strongest tornadoes are multivortex, meaning that they have smaller vorticies (almost like mini tornadoes) inside the main vortex. In a multivortex tornado the fastest winds are within these subvortices.

Tornadoes. Peak tornado winds are estimated at over 300 mph. The strongest hurricane winds are about 200 mph.
Generally yes except perhaps in the very strongest of storms.
As with hurricanes the strongest winds are generally on the right side of a tornado.
The actual maximum wind speed for a tornado is not known. The strongest wind ever recorded in a tornado was 302 mph.
The Greensburg tornado was an EF5, the strongest category of tornado.

The strongest tornado in the Fujita scale is F5.
No. An F5 is the strongest tornado that is able to form.

The Xenia, Ohio tornado of April 3, 1974 was an F5, the strongest category of tornado.
Both are, but it is probably more likely with a tornado.
The main part of the circulation of a tornado when the strongest winds occur is called the core.
