A few days ago, not far from here in Montreal, a soldier was run down and killed. Today another soldier was killed (shot) in Ottawa at Parliament. Most of you are aware of the Ottawa incident, and here is a link about the one that happened here in Quebec, before the Ottawa attack. Canadian Soldier Dies in Quebec Attack I wanted to ask you all for your thoughts and prayers for the victims' families and all of us here in Canada at this time. Thank you so much.

Praying for Canada.
ReplyDeleteI love your koi pictures. I'm so sad to hear what happened today in Ottawa. It seems no country is immune from terrorism, not even the wonderful, friendly Canadians.
ReplyDeleteSad to hear of those incidents. Pray that all may always keep the peace and spread the love there...and here too.
ReplyDeleteI heard about the shootings on the news today, it is getting a lot of press. How awful! I somehow think of Canada as having almost no violence. The fish pictures are great, are they Koi?
ReplyDeleteOhhhh. Guns are such horrible awful things. My thoughts are with the people of Canada
ReplyDeleteWe have been following the news in Canada......prayers for all of you, our Canadian friends.......
ReplyDeleteOh dear! So sorry to learn about the killings. I'll keep them in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteSorry, been so busy haven't had time to come by & I'll be flying off again next week. xoxo

I read it from the newspapers. My prays for Canada.
ReplyDeleteI think the thoughts of the whole civilised world are with Canada. We will beat these barbarians eventually.
ReplyDeleteLinda, thank you so very much for your words for me today, and for your words on your blog too. Sadness surrounds us, for the family grief like no other, keeping them in my heart. Hugs to you, Jean XXX
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to the story about the Quebec soldier.
ReplyDeleteJe pense a toi et tous mes amis canadiens dans ce temps. C'est incroyable ce qui c'est passé hier... je ne comprends pas la motivation de ces personnes. Ils n'attachent aucune valeur a la vie humaine.
It is terrible what happened to that soldier Linda, I wish the family much strength. Exotic Birds, is very beautiful to see. Greetings from Edward.
ReplyDeleteHow terrible about what happened to that soldier... It is so sad... I will pray for them Linda ...
ReplyDeleteon a beaucoup parlé de cet événement terrible au Canada, et sommes de coeur avec le pays.
ReplyDeleteMerci Linda pour ce billet

Deepest sympathies to the families of those killed just going about their daily duties and to the people of Canada. Your blog is very interesting and I love reading it, even if I don't always have time to put up a comment.
ReplyDeleteAr Dhéis Dé a anamh dílis [To the hand of God their sweet souls (Irish prayer)].
Bonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteC'est tellement triste cette nouvelle... Je souhaite mes sympathies aux familles ♥
Je t'embrasse et bonne journée

We were watching this on our evening news last night, here in Minnesota. Yes, my thoughts and prayers are certainly sent your way. It is so very sad, and horrible at the same time. My son-in-law is in the Minnesota National Guard, and he's had two tours in Iraq, and I know first hand what suffering occurs withing the family units as well. God Bless them all.
ReplyDeleteI like the war one
ReplyDeleteIt is so sad to hear what happened in Montreal and Ottawa. I heart goes out to the families and my prayers are with them. We are living in a world that has some terrible people in it that are just plain mean. Enjoy reading your blog every day. Have a blessed day. Madeline
ReplyDeleteThose poor families.....and now freedoms will be curtailed even more because misguided people turn to violence.
ReplyDeleteDear Linda - my heart goes out to all of you and the families of the fallen soldiers. Will be remembering everyone in my prayers. Your quote on the war seems quite appropriate today. Thank you for caring and sharing. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteIn the midst of the tragedy in Canada, your posts of humorous videos and inspiring quotes is good medicine. Also, the chicken looks so good that I have copied this post to my email inbox. Maybe I'll try it!
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts and prayers are definitely with the people and country of Canada.
I've been watching it on the news and I was so sorry to hear about what happened in Canada. I will be praying.
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda,
ReplyDeleteOui, nous avons regardé hier aux Actualités les attentats à Ottawa et à Montréal.
Cela me semble incroyable car le Canada semble un pays si tranquille. Tout change malheureusement.
Bonne journée à toi. Bises de France
Linda, both of the incidents you mentioned have been all over our news here in the U.S. I have been praying for not only for Canada but for the entire world because of the terrorism, chaos, diseases and uncertainty which is so prevalent.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the videos and pictures!
It's really sad to hear of what happened. My thoughts are with that family.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
Amazing colours in those fish.
ReplyDeleteYesterday here was a very strange, unsettling day.
blir svimmel av den berg og dale bane :-)
ReplyDeleteBonjour Linda, c'est fou ce qui arrive depuis quelques jours... oh oui, j'aide grosses pensées pour tous ces gens... Bise et bon jeudi tout en douceur!
ReplyDeleteHello from Texas, and yes, I have been shocked at seeing what is going on in your area! Prayers being sent your way and for the families. Your post is so inspirational! Just love it!
ReplyDeleteI've heard the news, Linda, in Belgium...
ReplyDeleteThe gag -> wonderful !
Our prayers are with the fighting soldiers...incidents like this makes you feel distressed...nice pictures!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad that extremists are again rearing their ugly misguided heads. We as humans have a long way to go before we become civilized. Perhaps another twenty thousand years need to pass before man stops killing man.
ReplyDeleteLove the fish Linda. Close to where I lived in England was Elsham Country Park where you could feed the Coy Carp. Have a look at this video link.

Nice post, have a lovely evening.
Your post always made my day better my friend!!!
ReplyDeleteSo sad these tragic events in our beautiful country. The honey chicken looks delicious. Thanks for your graciousness. Thelma
ReplyDeleteIt was such a tragic event, and sadly, I think it is only the beginning, as this warped group continue on their destructive path.
ReplyDeletePraying for the families of the soldiers killed. It just doesn't seem like the sort of thing that's supposed to happen in Canada.
ReplyDeleteGood Secrets of the Sea quote!
I heard about the young soldier being run down the other day and now this latest young man, both taken before their time, tragic, so sad. My prayers are with our Canadian friends, and especially with the families of those who lost their loved ones. A comforting post Linda, thank you.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, the sad events here in Quebec and Ottawa are both so tragic. Our country is so peaceful and we all try to live better with each other. These events will make us more vigilant and caring with each other.
ReplyDeleteHi,Linda
ReplyDeleteI just went to an aquarium by the Osaka port yesterday, enjoying a lot of fish,and today is too!
I pray for the families of the soldiers killed. What a sad event.
So sad, praying for Canadians
ReplyDeleteSo sad, you and all Canadians are in our prayers. xx
ReplyDeleteI was shocked. What a mad world we live in!
