The first line that popped into my head was “Not in Canada”. I don’t know the story of why or who did it but we can’t fall into the trap of the U.S. that we should have the right to bear arms. So heartbreaking and a wake up call. Peace to all and especially to those who have lost someone close to them in Tumbler Ridge.🕊️💕

It’s crushing. Nine people in a town that small… that’s not “the news,” that’s people you’ve probably hugged, argued with, stood behind in line at the Co-op. I can’t stop thinking about the families waking up and their child, sibling, best friend, is no longer with them.

It makes your stomach drop. Canada feels different somehow.

Your words made me cry again. My heart aches for the families and like you said so eloquently, for the loss to all of us.

Because we all see so much us news do we become numb to this? Outside of watching the National, an article in NYT and this post I haven't seen any mention of it.
