Vigil

flowers at the grocery store


There was a #torontostrong vigil held in the city yesterday to show grief and support for the victims of the deadly van attack last Monday. Thousands showed up including our Prime Minister and local politicians. They have not found any international links to terrorism and it seems the killer has mental health issues.

In other news, the daffodils have started blooming finally and we are to have a summery week at last!
There is a lot of road kill recently in the form of skunks (not a pleasant smell in the air).  There was even a rabbit leg on the sidewalk yesterday, sigh.

    Glad you are leaving winter behind at last. Skunk roadkill doesn't sound nice somehow....Have a great week, hugs, Valerie

    I read that the attack has a possible link to a misogynistic movement called incel. From an article: "The term incel is short for "involuntarily celibate," and the community that uses the label is typically dominated by men voicing frustration online about their lack of sexual relationships, sometimes blaming women for their failures with the opposite sex." This seems to be a hatred and frustration towards women. *sigh*

    Very, very sad Christine. These attacks are happening far too often.

    It was nice to have a memorial service for the victims. And that photo of the roses is so pretty.

    these are the good wills and tears of broken hearts rather than only flowers i must say!

    health issue of any individual can be as disastrous for innocent people is beyond my head

    All the best Jan
