CANADA WAR MEMORIAL WELCOMES ONE MORE HERO

In the wake of the terror attack at Canada’s parliament, a political cartoon was published in one of the country’s news outlets that has been sending chills down people’s spines in both Canada and America.
According to TheBlaze, the Chronicle Herald in Halifax, Nova Scotia ran the cartoon, which is the work of Bruce MacKinnon, on Thursday, following the death of a Canadian soldier in front of the war monument in Ottawa.
The cartoon depicts the soldier who was slain during the attack, Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, being helped by one of the military men who is featured on the memorial sculpture and seemingly being assimilated into the sculpture with his brothers in arms.
The praise for the cartoon has been widespread in both Canada and America as the two nations mourn the loss of the young soldier. Reviews have varied, but the majority have called the image “powerful,” and some have even said it’s “the cartoon of the year.”
