Well, in my more thoughtful (read: less angry) moments, I guess I just am a bit saddened that it is no longer the 'world' I grew up in. When I was a kid, you boarded a plane by walking up the stairs. Things were not generally 'going off' and there was no real terrorist or anti- terrorist activity. This has changed in several steps here in the US, and beyond any actual events in themselves, it makes a line in time when there was a 'before' and an 'after'.
I confess I am not all that familiar with Canada but it seems from here that things are a bit softer, calmer and gentler there. It is events like these happening right now that will change that for all time and all over the country, and none of it in a good way IMO. Sure all the efforts will be for increased safety and security and that is a great thing but I think it was better and easier when those things did not need so much enforcement.
So again, my sympathies for these specific events and those involved but even more important, my sympathies for the negative changes all over your country and perhaps your way of life these few incidents may cause. The real cost going forward is basically infinite IMO.

Unfortunately our first responders have to bare the brunt of these attacks. My thoughts are with all who serve and protect.
The whole planet change on that tragic date.
No politics but there is a cancer that has formed and needs to be eradicate, the sooner the better.
