    Dunno what to say about this. It's been kind of a depressing weekend and this is a clincher. Be safe my Canadian friends. I like your whiskey, the handsome Corb Lund, and your rodeos. We need you all alive and kickin'!

    Augh, how absolutely horrible and incredibly sad. My hearts go out to the family and friends of these people on a mission.

    This makes me so sad for the families....and mad about those that just don't see cyclists.

    My condolences to the families. It's just a sad situation.

    How can anyone not see FOUR cyclists in the road?? Is there no information on the car driver and WHY they ran right over four people?
    So, so awful.

    ...just terrible... how very sad and how very preventable if the driver had just been paying attention.
