I’m shocked and saddened by the recent attacks on the members of our Canadian Armed Forces in both Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec and Ottawa, Ontario.
We owe so much to the brave men and women who protect our country, and it is devastating to know that they are threatened here at home as well.
Our thoughts and prayers are with both of the victims and their families, as well as our first responders who rushed to the scene to provide aid to these fallen soldiers and protect our elected officials.
I want to thank the courageous men and women of the many security forces who risk their lives to keep Canadians safe today.

UPDATE: There’s now a fundraising campaign in progress for the victims families.
- The fund was initiated by a group of citizens who were moved by the deaths of the two soldiers and wanted to do something to honour their memory. In particular, Chad Rogers from Crestview Strategy
- Canadians have embraced the opportunity and it quickly became apparent that the fund would grow beyond what the group had anticipated, and they thought it was important to align with a trusted brand to assure the families and the public that the fund would be used ethically and for its intended purpose, and they therefore approached True Patriot Love Foundation.
The original goal for the fund was $100K. It now stands at more than $350K and a new goal has been set at $500K.
