Could be.  Seeing it reported a lot just today for some reason.

A Moroccan farmer, eh?  The plot thickens.

6 dead (aged between 39 and 60), 8 injured out of 50 people in the Mosque.

Country bumpkings make most of the North African immigration around here, so it's hardly surprising, except maybe for Viper.

The mosque itself sounds rather liberal :

The Islamist zealots hate these sort of Muslims as much, or more, as they hate non-Muslims.

Trump is merely a symptom, the disease is a widespread phenomenon.

Trump has given validation to these idiots though

Most agricultural productions requires lots of capital to start, because you need to buy quotas and/or harvest insurances.  I just don't see a newcomer deciding on his own to buy a farm over here, that's just way too much work, and too much capital upfront for a stranger (a 40 cow milk farm could sell for roughtly 2-2.5M $ and it's on the smallish side of farms).

Farmers of all kinds represent 50-75% of my clients.  I ain't ever seen a non-Quebecois (not born here or parents not born here) owning such farms in an area covering roughly 50km west of Quebec city to the mouth of the St-Lawrence.  Closest I had to a foreigner client are Swiss-German farmers, here from 3 or 4 generations.  Aside that, all pure-laine.

Yes, it's a pretty liberal mosque.  Unlike Montreal and Toronto, there ain't that many immigrants, most of them are quite integrated in their environment, and there's no political activism.  The only one case was someone from Montreal who promptly left back once it was no longer of mediatic interest.

Political positions[edit]
The Centre has regularly adopted a stand in the political debate in Quebec. Representatives testified before both the Bélanger-Campeau Commission and the Bouchard-Taylor Commission. In 2011, it also testified in a parliamentary committee in the National Assembly of Quebec against certain aspects of Bill 94 brought forward by the Charest government which governed the requirements to offer public services with uncovered faces.[2].
In 2013, the Centre strongly denounced the draft Quebec Charter of Values.[3]

Does not seem like a very liberal mosque. Not extremist indeed, average conservative (bon teint in French for Viper), or are the standards for mosques so low?

[Grey Fox]

Well, yeah.

[Barrister]

Can we please wait like a day or so for some details about the perpetrators?

[celedhring]

Guy I know from another forum (not Paradox) went to school with one of the perps... hadn't seen him in 10+ years though.

[Richard Hakluyt]

@Duque -  the Liberal party opposed that as well 

Though I do agree that not covering up one's face when providing public services is a red line for me too.

The Charter of Quebec Values was widely opposed, and ultimately was never introduced.

Second suspect released without charge. 

Alexandre Bissonnette seems to be the lone gunman.
