I am so sorry about the horrible events that took place in your beautiful country today. And the bizarre hit-and-run thing that just happened. I am in no way making light of these occurrences. But this is a humor blog. And I do feel the need to point out one thing… and that thing is this:
What makes these already horrible things even more horrible is that they sound more like things that happen in my country. Maniacs with guns… or cars… taking lives. Whether the perpetrators end up being extremists with a religious agenda… or a political agenda… or if they just turn out to be mentally imbalanced individuals… I wish with all my heart that your country could continue to be as unlike my country, when it comes to things like this, as is possible.
I mean, seriously, the Mayor on crack was bad enough.
There should still be a few places on earth where peace and civilization still flourish.
Pouring My Art Out 
That was an awful time in our country! But you had your own troubles at the same time with the guy climbing the fence at the White House – so it looks like we both have security problems. I think Mr. Vickers could take on John Wayne though!
Careful now
Thanks Art. I live only 2 miles from the Parliment and memorial. It has been a sad day. Things were hectic here with the whole area locked down. It takes a coward to shoot an unarmed man and then attack innocents. I am pleased that he was dispatched with apparent ease. Apparently we do have enough guns to handle any situation that comes up.
I am glad that you didn’t even need to ignite the flaming attack beavers…
Your humor wasn’t offensive. I feel sad today, even though I’ve been living in California for years. It seems like the kind of thing that shouldn’t happen in Canada. Hugs to you…
The whole world is going crazy… hugs to you, too.
There is only parking lot east of the rockies, paved right to the atlantic ocean!
dang straight
It is an awful feeling today. My family lives in Ottawa. My brother was a block away from Parliament when this happened, and was in lock-down. We are not used to this.
Thanks for the words, Art.
I hope you don’t need to get used to it.
Oh dear! I hope your brother’s not too shaken up. It must have been terrifying. All the best to you and your family.
Amen. When I heard about it, I immediately thought of all my new Canadian blogger friends, and I know at least one who lives in Ottawa. My heart goes out to all of them.
This is when having a humor blog becomes a little tricky.
Yes, but you did it well, Art.
phew… and yay… and thanks
Thanks for thinking of us today.
I really have been… good luck.
It’s sad no matter where it happens. As far as the mayor he’s now battling cancer and his brother is running in his place.
It is sad no matter where it happens.
Hear, hear. I’m only 3 hours away by car from where it happened – still too close.
Thanks, Arthur. 🙂
Glad my humor didn’t offend you.
Not at all. 🙂
phew
