     Quel drame épouvantable ce matin à Laval. Il n’y a rien de pire que d’avoir peur pour son enfant. Je pense aux enfants, aux parents et aux employés.

     What a terrifying tragedy this morning at Laval. There's nothing worse than worrying for your child. My thoughts go out to the children, the parents, and the employees.
