“Power out at Queensway Hospital, they’re on Code Grey.”

That doesn’t sound good. Strange coincidence

That’s a standard Canadian response. I’ve been on the receiving end of it; I was in a motorcycle accident in the middle of nowhere and was blown away by the number of bystanders who rushed to my aid.

I guess they didn’t get the new CPR rules. No more mouth-to-mouth. We just do the heart compressions now.

Maple Leafs-Senators NHL game now officially suspended.

That makes this officially a BIG DEAL in Canada.

Actually that is a good plan. Barricade the doors. However, I would suggest getting everyone away from the front of the doors, as they are easier to shoot through. Better to set up perpendicular to the entrance to present less targets.

>honour guards carry unloaded rifles and are not issued ammo

That needs to change. All soldiers should be armed and ready at all times.

Weird.

Code grey at my hospital means a patient has had a stroke - doesn’t seem to make sense here. .maybe aux power?

How about we go into the Mosques and find out what they’re preaching? Proactive is the way to deal with this, not stand around until they shoot you in cold blood then taking action ...

...”How about we go into the Mosques and find out what they’re preaching?”....

Our guys ‘are’ in there but not reporting to the public...which is just wise not to.

Took the Canadian government about five minutes to make the determination.
