Every once in a while, something happens that would have been unimaginable seconds earlier. There may be no merit, no rhyme and no reason, but it happens, and it will not make any sense.
Yesterday's shooting at Parliament Hill was no exception. I, Commissioner Randy, could only watch on in disbelief as CBC reported on the event, providing updates minute by minute. Unlike some stations, either domestic or international, I applaud CBC's efforts in covering its headlines; rarely do they speculate beyond what is necessary, and I do believe they try to report objective news without getting side-tracked with scaring/enticing its audience for the sake of viewership.
I won't get into the details of the event as there are way more qualified journalists who can do a much better job than I can. I am only here to report that Sitch, the only current select-GM resident in Ottawa, is safe and well, and was not downtown when the shootings occurred. I spoke with him last night, where he indicated that he was touched to have received a few texts from select-GMs inside Tri-Hard!, asking if he was alright.
"That's the one upside to what is otherwise a tragic event," said Sitch. "You think about what matters to you, and hear from those who matter."
Could not have said that better myself. Wise words, Sitch.
