If you are gonna live in Canada and spend time outdoors, I would recommend carrying a gun.

A big gun.

A grizzly bear attacked and killed two people in Banff National Park west of Sundre, Alta., on Friday night, Parks Canada says.

The people who died were common-law partners, according to a family member of one of the deceased whose name CBC News is choosing to keep confidential until all members of the family have been notified. The couple's dog, who was with them at the time, was also killed.

Authorities showed up after receiving a "bear attack" alert from a nearby GPS device. Bad weather "hindered their response time," and upon their arrival they found two deceased individuals.

The team subsequently "encountered a grizzly bear displaying aggressive behavior," leading the team to "destroy the animal on-site for public safety."

Parks Canada "said a closure order is in place around the area where the couple were attacked" until further notice.
