Days like this make one relieved to have the good luck to be a Canadian.
If I remember correctly, we've only had to deal with two political assassinations in our history, that of Thomas D'Arcy McGee in 1868 and Pierre LaPorte in 1970.
Pakistan has had to deal with four assassinations, or "suspicious deaths," in the same political family in 1979, 1985, 1996, and earlier today.
By no means do I have a good grasp on Pakistani politics, but I'm yet to hear anything that could reassure a person the country will come out of all this okay.

As I recall it took $15 millions and 10 years just to get to the bottom of the shooting of Dudley George. One Dead Indian. Now we’re into another $15 million of conspiracy theories and hearings getting to the bottom of why our own mine tracking and plasma armor plate cutting facilities for light armor vehicles , Fathom Oceanology, Streetsville were put on the 1989 Mulroney/ Schreiber chopping block where some $235,000 to $300,000 for Bear Head armor plate purchases didn’t surface until after 1993.
And then there’s the $64 billion EI surplus Harper’s Tax Payer Federation opposes , that’ll be spent changing Canada’s mission revamping Canada’s military mission and equipment before another set of hearings are needed to shovel these HRDC down loading costs off the Mississauga property taxes resulting from the disappearances of our T-4 slips and records of employment.
Maybe be we ought to send Wajid Kahn and the C D Howe Institute into Pakistan to sell off all our surplus used cars and airplanes to Osama Bin Laden then Canadians can watch the Pakistan military unfold under the advise of Arthur Andersen and appoint the U of T Rotman School of Business Ethics into their Capital ?
