This is sad. A true devastation to so many people. Sadly, tho, Brian is right here. The media and the Liberal government will weaponize this tragedy to push forward more censorship and more gun laws. All while avoiding the hard questions, or taking partial accountability for this horror.

Unfortunately the present government has clearly demonstrated complete denial of any and all of the destructive policies they have forced upon us over the past decade which have so deeply damaged this once great country. Such sadness, this latest event will not be any different. I have never desired to be wrong more in my life!

Police effectively misled the Tumbler Ridge community when an active shooter was at large. They said it was a woman in a dress instead of a biological male over 6 ft tall in a dress. A Material difference. So we can conclude facts were excluded by police in an active shooting. Noted.

I asked Gemini and about 1% of biological women in Canada are 6 feet or taller.

They totally failed at their job. The only silver lining is that in such a small town, people probably immediately knew who the active shooter was and didn't need to go off the RCMP's bogus description.

Maybe the biggest factor in this are the possible SSRI medications for depression or hormones he was taking.

SSRIs are very dangerous and increase homicidal tendencies I hear. You could investigate that angle and have a credible alternative to the gun control hysteria that will eventually follow this.

In any event, condolences to the families suffering these terrible losses

You are right Marcie. The cocktail of pharmaceuticals ARE the problem.

Remember when gay marriage was a topic of public discourse?

Why was it only once the flight moved to the T part of LGBT it suddenly became taboo and something you weren't allowed to discuss?

I think it's because the powers that be know deep down that this whole gender-affirming care idea goes against all logic and common sense. If they allowed a public debate about it it would unravel right away.

Honestly, the issue is mental health and the socially acceptable idea that transitioning will rectify mental health problems. On top of it the CPA has tied the hands of Psychologists so that they cannot provide proper counseling for teens who are struggling. This transitioning nonsense is a dangerous social contagion!!!

I knew this was not a “female” as women do not do this. We have to ask the hard questions about Males who try to transition to women and the mental instability of those who do this as this wasn’t the first time. We need to stop allowing children to make decisions that can destroy their lives.

I wonder when society will unveil the truth about the pathetic sadness brought to so many mentally ill people with the rainbow push for transgenderism?

K Brooker's avatar

Other countries have woken up and realized that more harm is being done than help by allowing children to “transition”.

I note in your words Brian, "Yet on Tuesday afternoon it appears that Jesse Strang, now known by the name Jesse Rootselaar shot and killed their mother and brother before heading to Tumbler Ridge Secondary School and opening fire on students." You avoided using HIS mother and brother.

Verna Scott's avatar

She was his biological mother.. she the step mother of the brother he killed .. his dads 2nd marriage. Issues there?

Jerry Grant's avatar

I think the post was about the pronoun used.

FortheLoveofFreedom's avatar

Yes, that was my point.

Verna Scott's avatar

His mother also promoted his you tube trans site.. who does that? Its your mom..

we have the young offenders act because young minds are not fully developed until age 25.. so mental illness or stress or confusion or family issues.. anything. Dad has not been interview or spoken yet..

Verna Scott's avatar

His/her. Correction. But then im falling in line. He got a penis.. a guy to me..

Verna Scott's avatar

Correction..she is his biological mother..the brother was his stepbrother.. many articles.

Not avoiding. Lily used his names to clarify. Responsible journalism.

Woke Liberals.

Castreau. Singh. Komrade Karney. John Horgan. David Eby. Kevin Falcon.

The cowardly and perverse support for these deeply disturbed “trans” people has to stop. They require intensive treatment in a suitable institution, not “affirmation”. Also the presence of any person with gender dysphoria or other serious and potentially dangerous mental illness should automatically prohibit the presence of firearms in the same home.

DJ_Wight's avatar

At some point, the question of whether or not he was on SSRIs should be raised. These have figured in more than one U.S. school shooting incident, as well as the problem of trans youth.

John Powell's avatar

Dj he was on a cocktail of gender altering drugs.

rc_mags's avatar

Every time you use they/them as a pronoun for an individual person, you validate the delusion we can change or disregard our gender. Why not just say “he”. I really don’t think this affirmation is kind or helps people.

Daithi's avatar

Enoch Burke a teacher at a church school in Ireland has spent over 600 days in jail and still currently incarcerated for refusing to validate that exact delusion.

I did not vote for this and maybe it will become a crime to protest it so I had better say it now: Canada is a country where pronouns matter and people don't.

Retired SgtMaj's avatar

You have nailed it. 👏

Let's talk about the doctors and the mothers who support making their boys insane by telling them they can be something they can! Whoever gave that boy at 12 years old medication to make him pretend to be a girl should be charged in this school shooting as an accessory in these murders.

Lee-ann Harder's avatar

100% He is but the by product of a culture that endorses this and it's all a lie. If you feel otherwise so be it. Do what you want to do as an adult but STOP lying to kids. They deserve better. The dead adults and children all deserved better.

The Babylon Bee has immortalized legacy Canadian media: Canadian Reporterperson Announces Policepersons Have Identified Gunperson

Carole Saville's avatar

It is pretty bad when the Canadian MSM opens itself to this kind of ridicule.

Denyse I O'Leary's avatar

It's worse that we are forced by tax law to fund them.

Norma's avatar

Politicians in power are ignoring the public cry for help with mental illness and drugs! Here, once again the Liberal gov,as Mr. Lilley has said ,will attempt to put blame erroneously on gun ownership . The transgender connection with shootings is there . Mental health is not forefront,and needs to be.

Kerri's avatar

This needs to be investigated for a hate crime against children/families. This is one of many mass shootings bu trans people in Canada and the USA
