There is terror in Canada. We all know it and now it has hit us twice in the same week.

Back in September my parents and I were at the Blue Jay game at the Skydome (I know, I know Rogers Centre). As we approached gate 13 area where we usually go in, we stopped to get our hot dogs at our usual vendor.

While waiting in line we noticed that there were more Jays staff/security around the gates. We didn’t know what it was about, but as we walked closer to the gates we saw that there were xray machines, and that was what was taking the extra time and the extra staff. The signs said that they were getting ready for the 2015 season.

My mom and I approached a police officer and he commented that Toronto was the last major league stadium to install the machines.

Then he said something interesting to us. He said that Canadians are very unaware of what is going on in our country. That there are more terrorist cells in Canada than there are in the United States. He went on to say, that it would only be a matter of time.

And so here we are. Social media, and all the news outlets are all focused on Ottawa today and Montreal as well. I just read one article headline that said, how safe are we that a lone gunmen can get right up to these men and shoot at close range.

We are changed. Terror keeps getting closer and closer to us.

I don’t even really know what else to say. My thoughts and prayers are with the family of Nathan Cirillo.
