This piece does not assume to speak for every victim's family and Canadian citizen.

I hope it resonates as we take time today to reflect on how this event has been - and should be - taken up as part of our history, governance and sense of belonging.

It remains the deadliest terrorist attack against Canadian citizens as a result of a cascading series of errors by security and govt agencies.

A devastating violation of human rights to life and security for which authorities long avoided responsibility as families suffered at the margins.
