That's a very privileged statement. However he met his end has absolutely no effect on you or your life. Yes he did a intolerable act and he deserved to be held accountable for his actions, but completely ignoring the impacts of generational trauma with statements like yours only shows a complete lack of knowledge or empathy in this situation.

The announcement of the Queen’s death has been announced.

I figured the announcement was eminent when Trudeau delayed his press conference and everyone was changing into dark clothing.
