Canada's province of Alberta has rejected a plan to hold a binding independence referendum, results show, a setback for separatists backed by allies of US President Donald Trump.

#Canada: 1:04 UPDT...4 soldiers killed...39 injured by wildfire & blast...at Alberta army base...sudden powerful winds blamed...
Four service members are dead and dozens more are injured after a military training exercise in Canada turns deadly when a fast-moving grass fire suddenly overtakes soldiers.
Officials say the fire had been burning for hours at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta, but commanders believed it was contained enough for training to continue.
Then the winds shifted. Within seconds, flames raced toward troops, leaving them little time to escape.
A preliminary investigation suggests a munition used during live-fire training may have sparked the blaze. | @AmericaNewsroom @DanaPerino
