Yeah, that's a pretty big one by the looks of it. I saw that in the Fark.com video section a little bit ago.
The headline for it was "Coolest near mass extinction you'll see today"
I must be in a daze today as I just watched it and moved on to watching Shaun the Sheep.

Pretty nifty, isn't it? I'm actually living just outside Edmonton, but unfortunately I missed the show Heh, I think I was doing more laser research at the time.
did this strike anywhere? or did it just pass through the atmosphere and break up?
this seemed like a pretty big one! scarey. beautiful and amazing. but scarey too!!

From what I gathered it just carried on by, but they figure there's a good chance of smaller bits breaking off and impacting, which has all the science-type folks excited. I guess they were trying to exactly track its path, then check out to a couple klicks either side, to check for bits and pieces.
I did actually se the LIGHT from the metor where I live !
The sky was suddendly bright (as in 100% moonlight) and after 2 second it was total darkness again !
It`s was crazy..
But if I had seen that metor exploded ..... I think I would have been running to the basement heh heh
“No-one would have believed, in the first years of the twenty first century, that human affairs were being watched from the timeless worlds of space........"
I think i saw it too, or at least a couple of pieces that had broken off it.. and i am in Denmark, Europe..
It was like a shooting star times 100.. very bright on the north-northwestern sky leaving small glowing fragments as it passed by, just like a bottle rocket.. but it was surely no rocket..
it was at about 8 PM local time, i dont know when the canadian incident was, but it was on the news the next morning, so i think it was at about the same time.. i also saw a smaller version some hours later, but that was more like a "normal" shooting star...
I wonder if this could be linked to that toolbox that was dropped from the international space station the day before :-)
I wonder if this was a known object on a near collision?
