Vancouver Police Seized 174 Guns From A Senior's Home During A Wellness Check

A wildfire expert says powerful winds with shifting directions and dry weather contributed to rapid expansion of the fire at a military base in Wainwright, Alta., that left four soldiers dead and 39 others wounded. 

Environment and Climate Change Canada had issued a severe weather alert for swaths of Alberta on Saturday, warning of powerful wind gusts of up to 90 kilometres per hour in the region where the base is located, 200 kilometres southeast of Edmonton. 

One day after Albertans voted to reject separatism, Prime Minister Mark Carney says he favours pursuing pragmatic "common solutions" with the provinces on issues under federal jurisdiction.

Carney warned today that constitutional change can be a "difficult" and drawn-out process and said disputes in areas like immigration can be resolved without constitutional amendments.
