Very sad
There's been a tragedy in Quebec City -- a huge fire destroyed the armoury building last night, reducing one of the city's great historical landmarks to rubble. I went down to see it this morning and the firefighters were still working on it. You could smell it several blocks away. There was still smoke coming out of one section of the 125-year-old building. It's particularly unfortunate to lose this national symbol given that this is the 400th anniversary of Quebec City, and that events were planned to be held there.
