Three recent comments from CBC readers to the live blog, including one about Const. Dave Ross's canine partner, Danny:
What will happen with Danny, I wonder? Will he get a new handler, or be retired?

Three recent comments to the live blog, including a response to an earlier commenter who asked why RCMP deaths are treated differently than other on-the-job deaths.
Responding to Maggie's comment: There is a difference between the death of these officers and the deaths of so many others who tragically die at work. In this case, these deaths were not accidental. These officers were murdered simply because of their profession. Murder fuelled by hate. While all work related deaths are tragic and I am sorry for all loss of life. The loss of these three men is outstandingly unjust and was no accident.

The regimental funeral is not without its critics. Two recent comments to the live blog:
who is paying for all this ??????
ron in victoriaat 11:32 AMWhile this incident is horrible, what blows me away is that people from all walks of life put their life on the line to deliver those things that we need to survive. Farmers and fishermen for food, Truck drivers to deliver that food, construction workers for shelter and the list goes on..... Why I ask is it that the police think they are so different and so better than everyone else.
The last time fishermen were lost at sea providing us with sustenance/food (as important as security), I don't recall seeing people from across the country arriving in droves including our Prime Minister. Add to that the police unions will now manipulate this situation, demanding increased wages and everything that comes with it in light of this tragic incident. At the end of the day.... look it up. The statistics clearly paint policing as one of the safest occupations there is. It takes a back seat to (according to Service Canada) to logging, fisheries, pilots/flight engineers, roofers, steel workers, garbage handlers, hipower lineworkers, truck drivers, farm workers and construction workers.
So yes..... this is a tragic situation, but come on..... the pageantry! Is it required? Is it fair or does it just perpetuate a myth that police are more special than the rest of us? I don't think they are. They are just as important as the rest of us and the sooner they and their ever greedy unions and associations realize that the better for us all. Closing note..... am I glad our armed services.... bless THEIR hearts are not unionized. Consider what they make and the risk they accept in their occupation!maggieat 7:29 AM
