Today’s coverage from Toronto included the Wall of Remembrance set up along the area where the massacre took place. All day long people have been placing signs, flowers, notes and candles. The Wall is now fully covered.
What I saw was young and old, white, black, brown, Asian. Men in turbans and beards, women in hijabs, dreadlocks, Jewfros, and white people like me. Signs in every language, and types of writing. Some signs had notes several languages and scripts on one sign.
People were hugging, crying, and comforting one another. Many were witnesses to what happened yesterday. They talked about caring for and comforting the injured. It was reported yesterday that many of the injured were cared for by security staff from the office building along Yonge Street until EMS arrived.
Toronto was my home for nearly 40 years. This spirit of love and inclusiveness is nothing new. There really was no need for John Tory to remind Torontonians to be inclusive. It’s who we are.
