and the man who prevented it from getting much worse:
‘Thank God’ for Kevin Vickers, Canada’s new national hero - The Washington PostThere is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "My ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."- Isaac Asimov

Any casualty in a terror attack is a drama to people involved and our heart goes out to them.
But if I look past that, then, to be honest, it is not really all that big of a deal as far a terror attacks are concerned.
To the point that it were anything other than a terror attack, like a shooting with one casualty, it likely wouldn't make it past the national news.
A win for our side thus (unfortunately not a perfect win).
So there really is no reason for a media circus turning it into another hysteria propaganda win for the terrorists.

Security without a doubt will be increased. To what extent, I don't know. Even after this incident, the Sgt-At-Arms does not want fences or more barriers.
As for Canada in general, to be quite honest, this will be forgotten by next week. Only those tasked with the job will notice the changes.Chimo

Terrorism in Canada - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Laundry list of attacks over the years and parties involved. Canada has been successful in stopping the Islamist variety.
Cuban embassy got bombed a number of times between 60-80. Kinda odd place for this to play out.
Quebec separatists is the other. these types of attacks are similar to the Islamist, going after the state.
