Not so much colourize, but an interesting photo of events.

Going off duty for a day of mourning for a penitentiary guard killed last week; a guard at the old Kingston prison opens the gate for armed combat troops from Canadian Forces Base Petawawa; who have orders to shoot if their lives are threatened. They'll back up unarmed police and prison officials.
