I know President Obama or President Biden would have been first to send their condolences as would any of the past Presidents.

I so despise him.

As for those of us who still have a sense of decency and empathy, Condolences.

I heard about it last night when I turned on the radio, BBC then CBC. I was shocked because it was in Canada.

Everyone knows everyone. I'm somewhat familiar with Canadian goings on as I live near the border and try to pay attention. This will take a while for healing, what healing that can take place for all involved.

they stand alone in their ignorance yet again. Canadians know that trump is not representing the feelings of most Americans who know full well how devastating something like this is.
