The Powerful Cartoon of Slain Canadian Soldier and the Memorial

1918

The shooting of a soldier guarding the Canadian tomb of the unknown soldier has shaken Canada in a way it did not expect. 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.
