    I agree. Kevin Vickers was not only a hero for the Canadian people, but also for the free world.

    Touching editorial cartoon, Halifax Chronicle Herald

    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Kevin Vickers is one extraordinary man, he remained calm and focused while doing what needed to be done. My Canadian friends, my heart shattered when I first heard this terrible news both for you and for Canada. The coverage was on the Philadelphia news all day. During the evening news a local tv station showed the editorial shared by Phesina, it's so on point that I can't refer to it as a cartoon. It's much too beautiful and brought tears to my eyes. That night a Canadian hockey team played a US team here, don't remember the teams or where it was played but it was a full house. As the Canadian team was introduced the lights changed to gold as they got a standing ovation. A spotlight focused on the Maple Leaf as every fan stood to sing "Oh Canada". Not a dry eye in the house. If anyone knows how the game finished up, please let me know? I don't follow hockey or sports in general but I was cheering for Canada to take this one.

    Kevin Vickers is a humble, Canadian hero. He did his duty that he was trained for. I'm proud of him. Well done sir.
