I didn't until I read the linked article. I hadn't seen the story about the shooting so didn't know what the Scottish dress was about (I don't watch the news nor read newspapers).

As you say, Simple but moving.
The public reaction to this horrific event shows why I like Canada so much.

I thought the Canadian PM's, & indeed, both sides of government's response was statesman like, mature, & very strong. No sign of hysteria, or trying to invoke fear in to the Canadian public. Bob
