I spoke to her on her cell phone and she is scared but told her she is ok. Hopefully this is resolved before pick up time. I attended Ottawa U , which is down town and we are on lock down as well

He left campus a few minutes before the lockdown, not knowing what was happening. Scared the hell out of him when his mother called him from Montreal and told him.

As long as you're safe.

We're sitting vigil with you, and saying prayers. Sounds like your daughter is safe, too.

I was wondering what became of him. After he went to China we didn't hear from him that much. It would be good to know his take on this.

on lock down. During her conference call with them you could hear in the background the swat team as they did a sweep. The meeting continues and they are calm.

Sincere condolences to the families of the deceased military men and to the excellent country that they served,

and much honor to the brave Sargeant at Arms of your Parliament who prevented the deaths of many more of your brave countrymen and women.

May there be many blessings on our friends and cousins to the North.
