I'm working downtown Ottawa, two blocks from the current perimeter... the building is in shutdown and the first floor is inaccessible until further notice. We were asked to close the blinds and stay away from window. Before that we saw SWAT going toward the parliament but other than that it's fairly quiet here. All our blackberries are offline and I've heard that they might shut down all cellular communications soon. Edit: To the one that said that the soldier didn't die... apparently he did: quote:DERNIERE HEURE: le ministre @kenneyjason annonce la mort du soldat tiré ce matin Translation: Breaking news: The minister Kenney Jason says the soldier that was shot this morning is now dead. xenilk fucked around with this message at 17:50 on Oct 22, 2014 |

I'm pretty impressed with how level headed the CBC reporting has been. The reporters have mentioned several times was how they should not jump to conclusions until more information has come in.
