This is the third anniversary of the 2014 terrorist attack in Ottawa. A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown was killed, and the gunman was later shot dead in Parliament. (This is the soldier — Corporal Nathan Cirillo. Gosh, he was gorgeous, wasn't he?)
And how did Canada react? Well, we can tell you that it didn't lose its mind. It didn't fly flags from every doorstep, protest against mosques in neighborhoods, or warn citizens to "watch what they do, watch what they say." Canadians quietly supported one another — as quietly as they observed the anniversary today. These are good things.
So okay, Bill 62 in Quebec is a step back. But we have faith that Canadian reason will prevail. That's the national character you get when your country values and welcomes all people. We cats PURR.
