Sadness in Ottawa

Our prayers go out to the family and friends of the soldier who was killed this morning at the memorial in Ottawa by the terrorist. And hats off to the Sergeant at Arms of Parliament who killed the terrorist, hope you don't have any more violence from those vermin.

    We do have a new Canadian hero, a mountie who never fired a shot in his 30 year police career, then took out a terrorist in Parliament with his first shot. It never occurred to me that the ceremonial Sargeant-at-arms carried a gun as well as the mace.


    Maybe our MPs will behave themselves in the House after this!

    Ain't you glad he had a gun? I'm sure all the people in the building are.
  • Our prayers to the family of the soldiers, and our sympathy to all Canadians in the aftermath of this attack on a cherished military monument/memorial, and on the symbol of parliamentary democracy in Canada.

  • Such a sad day - actually week given events in Quebec - for Canada.
  • I watched the news reports on this. So sad...and prayers and thoughts for the families and people involved.
