@Duque -  the Liberal party opposed that as well  :hmm:

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

The Liberals are well-known multiculturalists with a thing for Islam(ism). Liberal in name only. Post-modern left is more like it.

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?
Bélanger-Campeau was about Quebec's constitutional future.  Bill 94 was a mess, and the Charter of Values was a tad discriminatory toward muslims already employed by the government and with no contact to the public.

And yes, the standard for religious organizations are pretty low.  L'Assemblée des Évêques has taken much more extreme positions on some political subjects in the past.  And compared to people like Adil Charkaoui, yes, they are extremely liberal.

Only one shooter, the Morrocan guy was a bystander who fled when seeing armed people (the cops) entering the mosque.  He's considered a simple witness now and has been released.

I'll have to dig up the source but I read the Moroccan guy is the one who called 911 [or whatever the metric conversion is].

Luckiest bastard in the bunch.  Had that occurred in the US, he'd be dead.

Yes, he was taking care of the wounded after he heard the gunshots, but when he saw the cops entering with guns in hands, he tought someone was coming back to shoot him, so he ran.

I was thinking the same thing today, but I was hesitant to post it :D

Just read that too.
Says a lot about our media that he was reported as the attacker....

He was arrested and the police released his name (albeit erronously at first).  It's only later during the day that he was released and considered a witness.  Can't blame the media on this.  The guy panicked, the police saw someone fleeing the scene, they ran after him and arrested him.

Naturally. The case of Dow vs. United States ruled that Syrians are to be classified as white persons.

Details are still sketchy, but the accused has mentionned being inspired by Donald Trump's anti-muslim rethoric.  Non whites are the ennemy, apparently.

He went from moderately conservative to full blown racist over the last year.

he used a modified long rifle that jammed because of the mods he made, and one 9mm pistol.  The gun was mostly likely registered.

One of the victims tried to tackle him to save others.  Yes, the irony did not escape the Languishite that I am :(
In doing so, he likely saved a couple of other people in the room, it's hard tot tell at this point.
