And when it's someone in government, obviously it just shakes us to the core." A stunning terrorist attack at a shopping mall in Kenya's capital on Saturday has struck home in Canada with the death of two Canadians, including a 29-year-old diplomat who worked at the Canadian Embassy. "That people could be gunned down in broad daylight in a shopping mall on a weekend is just a tremendous tragedy. And obviously when you have someone who is serving their country abroad, it's quite devastating," said Baird, who was in London, Ont., speaking at the Ontario Progressive Conservative party's policy convention.
