It was the last opportunity for both leaders to debate each other before voters head to the polls on Oct. 26. Here are five standout moments from the debate:Bradford says Chow will take 115 years to reach her housing goal Speaking about housing during one of the first exchanges, Bradford took aim at the pace of Chow’s progress on her promise to deliver 65,000 purpose-built rental units by 2030. “Today, only 1,500 have been delivered.

Investigation into deadly CFB Wainwright fire 'will take as long as it takes,' commander says5 hours ago|Duration 0:56Maj-Gen.

The LatestMilitary officials, including Canada's top soldier, provided an update on Thursday on the investigation into the deadly fire at Canadian Forces Base Wainwright in Alberta. Officials said the fire resulted from a training exercise and was reported on the base's automatic grenade launcher range, which hampered firefighters' response. Four service members were killed in the fire and 27 more remain hospitalized in serious condition. At a separate news conference in Saskatchewan, the parents of one of the victims said they were "shattered" by the loss of their son, a "mischievous … loving" man who was chasing his dream of joining the Armed Forces. The military said an investigation by a board of inquiry will have a broad scope, including whether training policies were appropriate and why a grass fire wasn't assessed as a threat during strong winds.
