Three things that are as awsome as Fridays, choclate chip cookies, the bulldogs and vacation. But as far as that last one goes, American workers are taking less of it. The reasons why are minutes away.
First up, this October 24, a man being hailed as a hero.
This is Kevin Vickers. He is the sergeant-at-arms in Canada`s parliament. When a gunman entered that government building Wednesday and started shooting, it was Vickers who stopped the attack by shooting and
killing1 the gunman. Only ten people have been sergeant-at-arms since 1867. It`s a ceremonial position, it`s also a law enforcement position. The 58-year old officer spent 28 years with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. His brother believes this is the first time Vickers ever exchanged fire with anyone.
He extended his condolences to the family of Corporal Nathan Cirillo, a guard whom the gunman killed near the National War Memorial. Canadian officials now say they believe the gunman acted alone, but that he had connections to
radical2 Islamists. Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper says Canadians will not be intimated by terrorism.
We will be
vigilant3, but we will not run scared, we will be
prudent4 but we will not panic. And as for the business of government, well, here we are in our seats, in our
chamber5, in the very heart of our democracy and our world.
