I couldn't believe what I was seeing and hearing on the news yesterday !! A loss of 2 people in a couple of days is both sad and scary. It was something I'm used to seeing south of the border, and not in Canada. This affects the nation greatly. Just when you take safety in public places for granted. It really strikes at the nations heart! I feel for both families that had a member shot. I think Mondays was in Quebec.

Bruce MacKinnon's editorial image published today in the Halifax Chronicle Herald, pretty much summarized yesterday's tragedy here in Ottawa with a single, yet immensely powerful image. RIP Cpl.

Definitely a powerful image, it would be great on a 40mm coin. The image would nicely compliment the new Toonie.

I will be on the bridge at exit 526 of the 401 today at 1700 hrs. My final salute to a fallen hero.

Putting them on the same level as I.S.I.S.?  I've no intention hijacking this thread, but please be careful with what you say/write, especially in these sensitive times. These questions are way more complex. That said, my thoughts are also with with Nathan Cirillo's and Patrice Vincent's families. Sad, and shocking. |

 Let's keep these kinds of comments to ourselves lest this forum degenerates to the level of discussion seen on the numicanada site. "Dipping" is not considered cleaning...

I also agree! A coin forum is no place for comments like this

According to the RCMP, it was a Canadian who have just converted to Islam and who wanted to go to Syria but the Government refused to issue him a passport. What we know is that he was not affiliated to any organization. Edited by arianzo

Don't believe anything the media says at this point because they have a hard time getting their facts straight in the first few days. I'm sure there's a bill or two that's been in the works for a few months that can benefit from these "random" occurrences. For example, there's a bill in the works (released earlier this month, what a coincidence!) that adds new definitions to the Firearms Act and this is a perfect time to rush it through without reading it.
Back to the coin (this is a coin forum I think), I'll have to keep my eyes open for this one. Nice detail. I just wish the mint would get the edges correct because as of now they look like tin cans.

a very powerful yet sad image.
I looked at photos of real Memorial
and how ironic I found it that some of the
soldiers are carrying Vickers sub-machine
guns.(ithink)
a true tribute to a fallen soldier
and a very brave defender
it has touched my soul!!

I noticed the school flag has been flying at half mast for a few days.  |
