I'm not used to referring to a Dash 8 as a jet, but maybe that's just me... Sorry that this type had another issue, but I'm glad that nobody was hurt too badly.
VIDEO of the landing. Reportedly the a/c experienced a blown tire on take-off from Calgary and diverted to Edmonton because of high cross winds in Calgary.

checck out the gear failure about 3/4 the way thru
Not a jet - Dash 8 twin turboprop
Looks like a collapsed landing gear problem.
EDIT: Looking at the picture I see the prop and engine cowling are damaged on the left side of the a/c i.e. side opposite the gear collapse so the incident doesn't seem to have been precipitated by a landing gear failure. Perhaps high cross winds are to blame.
I don't see any damage on the left side referring to prop and cowling
