LAST WORD: Bad hair day for PM Selfie?
MONTREAL — The husband of one of the Quebecers killed in the Burkina Faso terrorist attack says he hung up on Justin Trudeau when the prime minister called him earlier this week. Yves Richard tells Montreal radio station 98.5 FM he was frustrated about what he called Trudeau's platitudes during their conversation Monday.

Richard says he told Trudeau to hug his wife and children and that he then put down the phone on the prime minister.
But wait, it gets worse...
After failed efforts to get information from Ottawa, he received the news he dreaded from a nun with the religious order hosting Carrier and other family members during their volunteer mission.

He said he reached the nun on her cell phone, and she was hysterical. “She was at the morgue, and she told me they were all gone.”
Your government in action.
