I bet he’s on time, too.
Canada Ping!
Also,I'll add my voice to those of other Yanks here....we'll trade you Obola for Harper...and we'll throw in the former Twelfth Lady,Dirty Harry and a Communist to be named later.Deal?
Condolences for your murdered Soldier and prayers for his family.
I know PM Harper won’t label this workplace violence!
I doubt PM Harper will have a top official go to this muslims mosque.

“Canada is not immune”.
“We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated.”
He is the Leader of the Free World, along with Bibi. They dwarf Obama on the World Stage.
I certainly hope this wakes Canadians up before they do something stupid and make Justin Trudeau PM.
Not many details...but then one wouldn’t expect many details at such an early stage.
Mr Harper made an excellent speech to the Australian Parliament a few years ago in which he observed that several dozen Canadians died n NYC on 9/11.I guess the savagery we’ve seen in the last couple of days is part of the price a nation pays for being both civilized and free.
Condolences to Canadians.
"My fellow Canadians. For the second time this week, there has been a brutal and violent attack on our soil. Today our thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo of the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders. Cpl. Cirillo was killed today, murdered in cold blood as he provided a ceremonial honour guard at Canada's National War Memorial, that sacred place that pays tribute to those who gave their lives so that we can live in a free, democratic and safe society.
"Likewise our thoughts and prayers remain also with the family and friends of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, who was killed earlier this week by an ISIL-inspired terrorist.
"Tonight we also pray for the speedy recovery of the others injured in these despicable attacks.
"Fellow Canadians, we've also been reminded today of the compassionate and courageous nature of so many Canadians -- like those private citizens and first responders who came to provide aid to Cpl. Cirillo as he fought for his life. And of course the members of our security forces, in the RCMP, the City of Ottawa police, and in Parliament, who came quickly and at great risk to themselves to assist those of us who were close to the attack.
"Fellow Canadians, in the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist and any accomplices he may have had. But this week's events are a grim reminder that Canada is not immune to the types of terrorist attacks we have seen elsewhere around the world.
"We are also reminded that attacks on our security personnel and on our institutions of governance are by their very nature, attacks on our country, on our values. On our society, on us Canadians as a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all.
"But let there be no misunderstanding. We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated. In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts and those of our national security agencies to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep Canada safe here at home, just as it will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores. They will have no safe haven.
"While today has been without question a difficult day, I have no doubt Canadians will pull together with the kind of firm solidarity that has seen our country through many challenges. Together we will remain vigilant against those at home or abroad who wish to harm us. For now, Laureen and I and Ben and Rachel join all Canadians in praying for those touched by today's attack. May God bless them and keep our land glorious and free."
