The Political Cartoon From Canada That People Are Calling Absolutely 'Powerful
October 23, 2014
"Without a doubt, the cartoon of the year..."
On Thursday, Canada's Chronicle Herald in Halifax, Nova Scotia, published a political cartoon that's being widely praised as "powerful" across the United States and Canada.
The cartoon, the work of Bruce MacKinnon, features the soldier slain during Wednesday's terror attack in Ottawa (Cpl. Nathan Cirillo) being comforted by one of the military men from the war memorial where he was shot and seemingly being assimilated into the memorial:
