So tragic that an unarmed innocent man was killed by these morons, may he rest in peace and his family find comfort in their memories. The same for the soldier killed earlier in the week.

I am afraid this kind of thing will happen more and more all over the world - it will be a long time if ever before ISIS is stopped and those misguided enough to join and support it won't give up.

Margee, my deepest sympathy on your loss, I hope you and your family can support and comfort each other at this sad time. It is natural to feel grief, anger, and many emotions mixed up together so treat yourself kindly and get things out of your system on here if you like.

Take care all Canadians, and everyone in large towns and cities everywhere.

So sorry for your loss, Margee.

sincere condolences to all - especially you Margee - my heart goes out to you <3 <3

My main fear now is the upcoming Remembrance Day - a ready made opportunity for these sick people to carry out further atrocities - please God, let everyone be safe

Margee im so sorry to read of you loss, sending my deepest sympathies to you and your family.........

Margee I am sorry for the loss of your husband, please accept my condolences.

Hope everyone stayed safe <3

Thinking of all our Canadian GR friends <3

I see that the Canadian National Orchestra are here in Scotland
(Edinburgh) for a ten day visit.
There building is quite close to where the shooting occurred.

Sylvia sorry only picking this up now. Likewise I wonder how he could run around Ottawa with a gun in full view, let alone his face covered with a scarf. In Toronto we might have thought he was just another one of our interesting people except for the gun. As for the future today everything is carrying on as much as normal as possible, and will not change that much for Nov 11th.

I think carrying on as usual is the best thing ............... Parliament's in session, I hear almost all, if not all, MPs were there.

We've got to show that they're not going to wear us down.


Now, as AnnC said .................. let's hope no-one else gets an idea, and disrupts Remembrance Day.


But I do think more security people will now be around, and armed, in many places we haven't yet seen them.




It sounds as if there was a serious mental issue with him, as well as being radicalized

High way of heroes this afternoon for his journey home.

heard part of that on the radio


are they doing anything for Patrice Vincent, the one killed in Quebec on Monday?


He's sort of been lost in Wednesday's events

online, it says his family is planning a funeral for "next week"

why not a full military funeral for him?

I heard the military top brass asked everyone to think of him too during yesterday journey. Some of the tributes at hockey etc have mentioned them both , agreed it is sad he's being forgotten somewhat. Yesterday saw much of the journey on TV, never seen so many people at the side of the highway and cars pulling right over to allow them clear access. I thought they were both getting full military funerals, maybe the family requested a small family one instead. For those not in the know, this is a very busy highway and it was mostly during rush hour so it's normally more of a parking lot. I know it's not the mother fault the actions of her son but if I were her I'd be arranging to leave something in my will for that poor child, no one has mentioned any siblings for the killer, and the parents whilst not mega rich are certainly not poor.
