report of a man carrying a rifle downtown. So far, it’s a single unconfirmed report, but with the events in Ottawa yesterday the downtown area is in lockdown. My wife works about a block from the area where the man was spotted, my daughter’s school is in lockdown (no one in or out).

A single, unconfirmed report.
I am going to say over reaction.
You realize the next report may be a conformed one that takes place after someone is dead. It may be a strong reaction or it may be justified but would you want to be the official who gets it wrong?

I’m sure that many people are on edge everywhere today so even a person carrying a long package could be mistaken. I’d rather have them reported than not at this stage.
Report it, sure. But to lock down the downtown area when one person reported something that nobody has been able to confirm and no shots have been fired?

Reaction is due to Canadian pussification regarding guns. Around these parts, it is common to see a guy walking around with a long gun. When witnessed, it is only polite to ask “how many you bag?” and “did you see the tirty-pointer?”
No, reaction is due to the 36 gunmen that attacked Ottawa yesterday. Or was it 1? Hard to say since every news source is reporting something different.

Overreaction?? Maybe.

not really. lots of people around here have rifles / shotguns. they don’t walk around downtown with them though. not many deer or moose downtown.

Yeah. Right …

No, no - clearly an overreaction due to Canadian wussification.
And I believe you meant H/\lif/\x Transit…

not many moose downtown.
I’ve been to Halifax. I’ve seen some of the Navy wives. Nice try.

Are you mocking our new, ultramodern logo that will usher in a new age of vitality to our fair city, creating unbridled economic opportunity? I cannot begin to tell you how many jobs that logo has created and how proud people are to be from Halifax, sorry, H/\LIF/\X, all because of that fabulous new logo.
money well spent, my friend. money well spent. There certainly could not have been a better use for our tax dollars.
