I'm locked down out in the boonies of Ottawa! Hope I get to go home. Take good care aprilsails (hugs)
Are you at a school or another public building? My coworker was all pissed off since her kid's school was in lock down and it is in Osgoode. There's no way there is anything happening in Osgoode.
I am worried since I have a major construction project going on inside of Centre Block right now. I deal with about 10 of the staff on a very regular basis. All of the meetings scheduled for this week have been scrapped by project management.
Soldier has passed away, so very sad for his friends and family.
Malala was supposed to bs given honorary citizenship today, I wonder if that was part of the motivation. I just cannot understand the motivation to do so much harm.

We were wondering that too. I was in a mtg with some govt folks at the time, and some from Ottawa. One of the govt chairs left abruptly saying that there was a major 'security breech'. Then we went online to figure out what was going on. Also wondering if what happened in St Jean sur Richeleau a couple of days ago was related too. So, so scary

I'm glad everyone on here from the area and their families are okay.
My H and I are currently the only ones in one side of my family who don't currently live in Ottawa. I started watching the news as soon as I got home and I am super emotional now.

Goddamnit. Fuck.
I was working at the hospital all day and only got updates via what was on the anaesthesiologist's laptop and the TV in the waiting room. I'm home now and reading.
Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive, but some guy I know from the UK just posted this on FB and I'm all fuckstick faced about it:
British Dude: "Why is canadian news waiting for the President of the USA to make a statement rather than their own PM? Come on Canada have some self confidence!"
What in the everloving F?
Uh, you know, maybe our PM Is just a little bit busy at the moment? You're not alone on that Adora
