The U.S. ambassador to Canada thanked those who attended a vigil in Calgary held in honour of conservative American influencer Charlie Kirk.

Kirk, who co-founded the national conservative student organization Turning Point USA in 2012, was shot on Sept. 10 at Utah Valley University. He was holding a speaking event on campus at the time.
