There is the referendum, but this tragedy rightly, uh, is surpassing, uh, all other news because of the gravity and severity of it.

Certainly so.

So I arrived in Wainwright early yesterday morning, which was in the immediate aftermath of this happening on Saturday afternoon.

And speaking with people on the ground, much to what the Prime Minister was speaking about with the mayor there, this is a community of 7,000 people closely tied to that base, which is a very busy Canadian Armed Forces base for training exercises.

So they're used to hearing the sounds of explosions and munitions going off there because of how regularly that training is happening.

And they're used to seeing those military members, both those who are active on the base and those who work on the base, retired military members as well.

It is very closely tied together, this community and the military.
