“These are Canadian Armed Forces vehicles, returning from a large Canadian military exercise called MAPLE RESOLVE, in Wainwright, Alberta. This is a standard, annual military exercise,” Canada’s Department of National Defence told Check Your Fact in an email. “The vehicles are travelling by train, returning to Canadian Forces Base in Valcartier, QC.”
