Well,
Thanks to the work of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the Ottawa City Police, and the quick thinking of the House of Commons' Sergeant-at-Arms, Kevin Vickers (a former Mountie): yesterday's terrorist attack on our Parliament was quickly contained, and quickly shut down. Though there will doubtless be (and need to be) increased security, in future. http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/10/22/ottawa-terror-attack-left-images-both-vivid-and-horrifying/
However, my thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders, who was standing as a ceremonial guard at the National War Memorial, and who was shot at point-blank in the chest by the wicked and deluded miscreant in question. A nice young man, with a little son, who was targeted only because he represented Canada, at the wrong time, on the wrong, fateful, day. http://fullcomment.nationalpost.com...illo-died-standing-guard-over-one-of-his-own/
