Mass School Shooting in Canada

Supposedly this was carried out by a “woman in a dress.” Let’s see how this actually turns out….

Called a "gunperson" by the police spokesman. That may just be awkward phrasing by someone who can't figure out what to call a female shooter, or it might be a none-too-subtle way of avoiding saying what we're probably all going to find out about the shooter anyway.
 
I live in this province but in the lower mainland/southwest part. It's only because it's a rare occurrence that we are talking about it. Gun violence in my area happens regularly (monthly if not weekly). Sometimes it's gang related but innocent people are sometimes killed and naturally that gets more attention but it's soon forgotten. I think if we looked at statistics we'd see that these domestic/school shootings are just small part of the big picture.
 
I’ve heard there’s a media blackout in Canada concerning the transgender issue. Not sure if that’s accurate or not.

A bit more authoritative source than PJ Media, perhaps:



[RCMP Deputy Commissioner Dwayne] McDonald said [Jessica] Van Rootselaar identified as a female, but was assigned male at birth. She started transitioning about six years ago. She dropped out of school around four years ago.
​

There seems to be some discrepancy about the name of the shooter. Canadian media identifies him as Jessica van Rootselaar rather than Jesse Strang; however, as this article notes, Strang is his mother's last name. (Perhaps Van Rootselaar is an assumed name?)

Clearly not.

I'd say the media was being a bit obfuscatory as to the "gender identity" of the perpetrator.

Something I found out recently about the number of people who identify as transgender or non-binary in Canada in different provinces. There are more of them in BC than in Quebec. Quebec has a higher general population so how is that possible? It's like BC is doing more to push it on people or something.

I think BC is one of the most liberal provinces in Canada. I could be wrong.

I thought you lived in Louisiana. I must be confusing you with someone else on the forum.

Yeah, one of the news networks used a filter to doll him up, make him look more feminine. Because that's the important part.
