Elon Musk pledges a share of his SpaceX company to 'every kid in America'

Training at CFB Wainwright in Alberta is “as real as it can be” to prepare soldiers for combat operations, says a retired Canadian Armed Forces major-general. Four military members were killed, and dozens were injured after a fire broke out at the massive military base’s training area on Saturday, Prime Minister Mark Carney said at a press conference in Ottawa Sunday. Retired Maj.-Gen. David Fraser, who spent much of his over 30-year military career training at CFB Wainwright, said that training can involve up to thousands of people depending on the exercise. Some exercises are individual he said, providing an example of a member shooting a rifle at a gun range. Others are known as collective exercises, which involve two or more members, he said. “They’re progressive,” Fraser said in an interview Sunday. “You start off with one person and you end up at some stage in the game probably with 5,000 or 6,000 people,” he said.

The man was discovered in a bush on the grounds of the residence, located on Sherbrooke Street East, near L’Assomption Boulevard. He was a resident of the complex.

Music blasted through speakers as people chatted enthusiastically outside a Toronto venue, moving between tents, a hotdog cart and an ice cream truck on a sunny October day. What looked like an outdoor festival at Lawrence Heights Community Centre was a fair held to raise civic engagement and encourage the city’s residents to vote in the Oct. 26 municipal election.
