Narrator: Barbara Pilling was a young model in New York. She first saw Donald Trump at a party in the late 80s. She's never spoken publicly about it before.

Pilling: He said, how old are you? And I said, 17. He goes, oh, great. So you're not too old, not too young. That's just great.

This is the most honest, empathetic comfort I have heard from a politician.

Those of us who have grieved deeply can recognize all this.

Prime Minister Carney continues to surprise…
CARNEY: "I know that nothing I can say will bring your children home. I know that no words from me or anyone can fill the silence in your homes tonight and I won't pretend otherwise ... We wanted you to hear that Canadians are with you and we will always be with you."
