Reports coming in from Canada of shooting at the Library of Parliament. One shooter reported captured. Unconfirmed reports of one dead. Police looking for more shooters, but not sure if more.
Don’t know about active shooting, but they seem to still be searching for possible accomplices
Will that pucker-factor increase the possibility our betters in government will take security against Islam more seriously?

#CanadianForces members ordered to stay out of uniforms in public unless on active duty
Global TV is reporting that Kenney had been told soldier died, still no confirmation. Hospital still reporting three patients, two stable and one critical. No official word on any fatalities.
bttt
Trying to lighten up. Not funny, agreed. Actually a stout decendant of newfoundlander mother and dad fixed planes on CAF air base. Never been prouder of RCAF and all service members. Sorry.
As of 13:18, live situation, multiple terrorists, perimeter expanded.
Still active, police are looking for at least one more shooter.

OTOH, glad to hear they successfully whacked back.
You can’t stop a terrorist from making a first kill, really.
But you can danged sure nail his sorry a** the very next moment. It sounds like they did. Good on ‘em.
WTG Canada!
Condolences to the family of the serviceman, and thanks and congratulations to the wounded who successfully put their lives on the line!
We should too. The honour guards carry unloaded rifles and are not issued ammo because the post is considered ceremonial, not operational.

Conservative caucus told Canadian soldier shot at War Memorial has died, Soldier has not been named, but was a reservist based in Hamilton
CBC News
Soldiers are being told to stay out of uniform....
Can’t believe CTV just revealed the location of the PM - Photo shows him at the dining room at 24 Sussex.
(CTV now saying they can’t reveal his location, but damage has been done)

Oh, and now a street fight between spectators is about to break out as they argue over who is prouder of being a Canadian.

You and I’ve been saying that for a while as I recall......
I wish they would quit the death watch.
WHEW! :o/
