Yesterday's shooting? You mean the car running down a soldier? I doubt there's a close tie in other than radical wing nuts.

If it is true then he certainly lived up to the original medieval origin of his title and not the ceremonial one given today

Not too shabby for a 57 year old retired RCMP officer! I see a medal in his future.

Reading some on the reader comments on CBC's website just makes my head shake. So many dumb comments including one that this was a false flag attack staged by the Canadian government in order to have an excuse to cancel next year's election. Or that the attack was done by a right winger who wants more civil liberties taken away from Canadians.

Where do such 'people' get such ludicrous ideas?

Government caucus was just informed that CF soldier has died.

Seems he didn't make it after all........  :'(
