Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey resumed the campaign trail Wednesday after a man driving a truck with a “large quantity of various knives” was arrested outside his office building following a police chase.

The Liberal leader was in Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula on Wednesday to resume his campaign as his team recovers from the shock of the possible attack likely targeting the premier.
