Canada's Defence minister says he's heading to Alberta to be briefed on the incident at CFB Wainwright
I am on my way to Edmonton. I will get briefed on the latest developments regarding the terrible incident that occurred at CFB Wainwright.
The Department of National Defence continues to work closely with the Government of Alberta and local authorities. Thank you to first responders, Canadian Armed Forces members, and provincial officials for their efforts.
To the families and everyone in Wainwright: Canada stands with you.

The defence department told me there are no indications that what unfolded at CFB Wainwright was the result of "any terrorist activity."
Defence Minister David McGuinty confirms 'both fatalities and injuries' as a result of an incident at CFB Wainwright in Alberta. He provides no additional details on the incident – but says all levels of government are mobilizing, working through the details of what occured.
Asked by @Gray_Mackenzie if there are any comparable incidents, the minister says "I cannot recall an incident like this in recent memory."

The truest UNGA experience. NYPD street closures for motorcades (especially for POTUS) are no joke. I’ve been stuck on a street corner for upwards of an hour and there’s no negotiating your way through - apparently even calling the President doesn’t help!

Preliminary estimates show that near 2M electors voted last Friday on the first day of advance polls. A record number! To all the electors who had to wait in line, thank you for your patience!
We’re going to continue to adjust over the next few days to handle the high traffic!
