(Saskatoon) There was a minute of silence, a prayer, then a sober speech by the Liberal leader Mark Carney. The Saskatoon public market was the scene of an atypical scene for an electoral campaign, in the wake of the attack on the Vancouver Truck-Truck on Sunday.

The last trip to the liberal caravan was turned upside down by the tragedy that hit the Lapu Lapu festival. Instead of kicking off this last day of the campaign with an event in Hamilton, Ontario, the outgoing Prime Minister started her by expressing his sadness and condolences.
His plane set sail for the Saskatchewan with several hours late, while his team was trying to reorganize the activities of the day. We first made a cross on the two major gatherings of the day, which were to be held in Calgary, then in Richmond.
-In place of whipping his troops on the eve of the election, Mark Carney will rather join the Prime Minister of British Columbia, David Eby, in Vancouver, in the company of leaders of the Philippine community, said the chief’s campaign team.
Between the two, there was a stop in Saskatoon, where several dozen activists had gathered for a long time in a public market. After an appeal to the meditation of the candidate of Saskatoon – University, Nora Cummings, the Métis community pronounced a prayer in memory of the victims of the attack.
Upon his arrival on stage, Mark Carney thanked the activists for their patience, and he sent his support to the Philippine community “tightly woven” in Vancouver.
The liberal campaign had “informed his supporters of the need to adopt an approach and a respectful tone throughout the day,” it said.
