Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is paying tribute to the 22 victims of the worst mass shooting in modern Canadian history.
Two years ago today, a gunman began a two-day rampage in the small Nova Scotia community of Portapique.
In a statement, Trudeau says he joins the people of Nova Scotia and all Canadians in remembering those who lost their lives on April 18-19, 2020.
Nova Scotians have been asked to observe a moment of silence today and Tuesday, while flags on government buildings are flying at half-mast until sunset Tuesday.
Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh tweeted today his thoughts are with the families and friends of the 22 people whose lives were taken.
