I actually liked Mulcair's speech as well. I think he was calm, he claimed solidarity with the Prime Minister. He didn't want to use the term terrorist, which is interesting. His last line was very well scripted.
I didn't expect anything more then vague and brief remarks.
Will be interested to see what Trudeau does.
I do agree with an earlier post, Canada is now at war.

Very encouraging that we have solidarity in Parliament on this event. This is not a time for partisanship, it's a time for reasonable thought. I agree that both speeches were very similar, with a slightly more tough tone provided in Harper's speech.
Interesting that people have took Harper's speech as it's proof that it was ISIS that was a part of this attack. He talked about how the hit and run was, but for today's event, "In the days to come, we will learn more about the terrorist & the acquaintances he may have had."
Which I take as the government does not know the motive yet, at least doesn't know enough to make conclusions. Good that they are taking their time to ensure they know what happened before they truly condemn one way or the other.
