Canadian rocket startup to try suborbital launch today after yesterday’s launch was scrubbed due to a fire on the launchpad

Proposed Canadian spaceports
UPDATE: The launch attempt today has also been scrubbed due to another small pad fire due to leaking fuel. The company is now aiming for another launch attempt tomorrow.

The Canadian rocket startup Nordspace was forced yesterday to cancel its first launch attempt of its Taiga suborbital rocket when flames and smoke appeared on the launchpad.
An update posted to the company’s website said it had to delay the launch “due to an anomaly on the launch pad. … Rocket, pad, and personnel are safe. We are working to resolve the issue and return to launch,” the update said. Later, in a comment on its livestream, the company said it would reschedule the launch to Wednesday morning.
I have embedded a live stream of today’s launch attempt below, set for lift off a little past noon today (Pacific).
With this launch, the company will not only complete the first Canadian launch of any kind from Canada by a private company, it will initiate operations at its own spaceport in Newfoundland, dubbed the Atlantic Spaceport. This achievement would also leapfrog Canada’s other proposed spaceport in Nova Scotia, which has been promising launches since 2016 without success.
