WNU Editor: A lot of details have still not been made public on the person who is responsible for these horrific crimes …. but what we do know is what I outlined yesterday …. a French Quebecer who harbours a deep hatred towards visible minorities who are not French Quebecers. And what is particularly sad about this story is that the men who were killed in this terror attack represent the best of the immigrant community in Canada. All of these victims are/were success stories who had loving families …. who came to Canada for a better life and who fulfilled their goals of becoming citizens that Canada is proud to have …. and now everyone is grieving. This blog covers wars and conflicts around the world …. it is a different story when I cover what is happening in my backyard. My prayers are for the families who lost their loved ones …. and for those whose loved ones are still in hospital. On a side note, I promised last night to give an explanation on why this terror attack happened in Quebec …. and how Quebec nationalism may have played a role. But not tonight …. my anger on what happened is still there and any commentary from my part will be clouded by my hatred on what this killer did. And while I do know that some in the Canadian media are trying to tie President Trump and France’s Le Pen to these killings because of some Facebook postings that the killer did …. I also do know that the killer was an admirer of the Pope ….. which these same pundits are conveniently choosing to ignore because it does not fit their narrative. But like I said …. if I am up to it I will provide a more comprehensive commentary in the next day or two.
