Closest we've had is the Al Qaeda goofs in the Toronto-7 IIRC
There was this guy in Quebec - http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/who-is...leau-1.2807285 Not a van but he rammed some military people in 2014 - killing one.

Not sure about Alberta, but there's been a lot of pro-active defenses set-up for these types of attacks for big events (big trucks blocking closed roads, cement medians set-up) that help prevent mass casualties.

Very hard to stop something like this though.
