Absolutely tragic, deeply saddening, and quickly far reaching even to overseas and our stateside neighbours' news streams.

May God comfort, heal and help us all. A once strong, healthy northerly nation of multiple small remote communities exhibits growing cracks in society decline that are swallowing up our youth, our precious future generations......and it has largely been preventable, except for those who wilfully lead us down dangerous experimental ideological paths.

Our long elected liberal & ndp governments will respond with the predictable thoughts, prayers and shock in media scrums ....and will ignore the underlying issue; -of which they were both actively complicit in fostering and fanning for a decade. And in the fray of such raw tragedy, they will predictably move to capitalize in accelerating alarmism targeting everything but the root causes, with sweeping OiC's, special committees, escalation on controversial proposed Bills, and hastily creative new Bills.

We have every right to be enraged at such events.....the time is overdue for new governments and addressing systemic rot.

Tragically misguided youth, and an image of an SKS rifle posted to a social media site.

One of what appears to be two curiously similar but separate youtube accounts grimly posted a video short of the lyrics to "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster the People ...readily themed on troubled youth contemplating school violence, though the band claimed their intent in recording it was to highlight alienation, not glorify shootings (ya right ...now they have a problem).

The other youtube channel posts a cartoon self avatar with a rolled cigarette hanging on the lip (imagery referenced in the song lyrics on the other site). Posted 6mo ago, it suggests something pretty dark, long calculated, and inspired by popular song lyrics was deliberately posted visible as a forewarning.

May God help us all with His mercy and faithful loving intervention.

Your reply should be published in every media medium in this entire country. Well said. Thank you.

Thank you for expressing all the things I’m thinking but am unable to say with such eloquence.

In less than a year, British Columbia has endured another mass casualty event. In April of last year, a man drove a vehicle into a crowd at the Filipino Lapu-Lapu festival, killing 11 people. The perpetrator was struggling with serious mental health issues and was under close supervision at the time.

Yesterday, another mass casualty event occurred in Tumbler Ridge, this time involving a firearm and, apparently, mental health issues.

The vehicle attack has largely faded from public discussion, and the underlying mental health factors were never meaningfully addressed. When a firearm is involved, however, the public response is very different. It is unlikely this latest tragedy will fade quietly. There will be renewed calls for more gun control, while, once again, the root causes risk being left unexamined.

Same old same old Trans shooter guns bad

How is it that these mentally ill people have acess to guns? Wouldn't you as a parent get them out of the house the first time your son starts wearing female clothing? Thank the liberals for not only allowing this to happen but pushing Trans beliefs. People this Trans is a clear sign of mental illness. Not to mention our prime minister fully supports his Trans daughter

This is a perfect example of independent media providing 1st tier breaking information.

When will the trans/mental health elephant in the room be taken seriously....

Much like climate ideology, Canada will be the last to change course on this.

So, how's that woke dei working out. The government along with the schools that push this is greatly responsible these people losing control. Not to mention the fact that people are getting crazy from tax burden.

Renowned Canadian psychologist, Jordan Peterson, has very clearly outlined that transgenderism is a mental illness which desperately needs psychiatric help and support…..NOT puberty blockers and horrific mutilation of physical body parts! For many, if left untreated, it escalates to self destruction and suicide, or turns hostile toward others! The killer of Charlie Kirk, a number of murders of parents, the car driver that killed celebrating Filipino folks in BC are just a very few examples!

Our country is intentionally being ripped apart by Carney on a daily basis! MSM promote all as being positive and glorious under this massively corrupt Liberal Carney government, and so have convinced many Canadians that Carney walks on water!! They are totally complicit in turning Canada into a communist society run by Beijing!

This entire Carney driven Marxist “woke” ideology that is Canada’s latest “fad” is a WEF mechanism designed to deplete a population of productive healthy and intelligent young people! It’s one of the mechanisms in their playbook for acquiring a one world government run by global elites like Carney and under their complete control! Think back to the “COVID controls” Trudeau exercised on everyone - all of which we now know were directed by the WEF and the communist controlled WHO!!

People need to start doing some HONEST research and investigation. It’s out there! Or, like Hitler convinced lazy Germans the Holocaust was cool and OK, Canadians will very soon wonder how they lost all freedoms and now are under Carney led communist control with Beijing.

Last Feb I attended the ARC conference in London with Jordan P and friends. It is being held again this year in late June I thing; central London location. Three packed days, and highly recommended. Candice, if you are reading,

someone from Juno should be there.

Marilyn Hagerman's avatar

Christopher, I think you should contact either Candice of Keenan Bexte directly. Juno’s website for tips for news stories is tips@junonews.com. An excellent idea for them to promote!! Thanks.

The question is, how dangerous are T students?

Psycotropic meds, every time.......

Put female hormones in a male body or visa versa and this is what one gets.

Agression on steroids.

The last bunch of serial shooters in the US were apparently all transgenders

This is tragic, my heart goes out to all the families and friends effected. But the govt will ride this wave for more gun laws and not address the real concern, that they themselves created, the mental illness involved with the indoctrination of the trans community by the govt, all govt, at every level has responsibility for this. This not a gun problem, this is a problem of too many weak minded people thinking gender is fluid, rather then address the mental health issue. For any govt employee out there, this is on you for allowing the DEI and SOGI to run rampant through our society. Again, my heart goes out to all the victims families and friends, this is an horrific event...

sandi ross's avatar

Such a sad situation. Can't fathom how devastated these families must be. My thoughts & prayers are with you🙏

Patricia Walker's avatar

Canada needs to stop affirming mental illness and start treating it, 10 people might be alive today if this boy had received the psychological counselling he needed instead of pandering to a social contagion with zero science to back it up. This child needed counselling to help identify who and what he was and where he saw himself in the world5 years from now, perhaps such counselling was not available in the small community he resided, thats a whole different level of failure within this country! Every level of government across canada needs to recognize the blood on their hands by allowing the lunacy of gender ideology being legitimized in children. The male brain is not mature enough to make these types of life changing decisions until at least 25, many much closer to 30!

I just wish these 'It' people would skip the foreplay and get to the last act, and put the bullet where it needs to go. Instead they target others first.

Ingrid Jansons's avatar

So sad, my blame is our government, if they didn’t push this agenda, and have some mental health supports in place, this young man would have never done this. So much pain and heartache caused for no reason.

Christine T.'s avatar

This is so sad for the whole family and community. There have been many situations like this in the US as well. I hope that more people will begin to see the truth about the harms of pushing his agenda.

James Turner's avatar

Hey everybody. The blood is not dry yet. Show some respect and humanity - leave this alone for a while.

Richard Black's avatar

No. This needs to be talked about right now. Before the leftists and governments start with their “right talk” and turn the tragedy into a guns bad propaganda.

James Turner's avatar

Yeah, politicians have never hesitated to dance in the blood of innocent victims for political gain.

Doesn't mean we have to.

Don's avatar

🎯 ..bang on, James...Remember when Jasper Ab. was burning..and one of the first thing Justin announced? "this tragedy highlights the necessity for battling climate change"

Tatanka's avatar

And that attitude got us exactly in the fucked up situations we are finding us in today

Janet Buhler's avatar

I agree that we need to be considerate of all those affected by this horrendous tragedy. However, we do immediately need to address the reasons that this tragedy occurred. This is the time to attempt to make sure our governments start treating these events as serious as they are. Do not let them get away with not doing anything about mental illness and the implications involved in transgender “treatment”.

Billions and Billions's avatar

We question the manner of how the deceased died because we respect and value their lives, now cut short.

How long is a while? A week, a month, or a year - when most of the public will have forgotten?

This isn't politics, this is looking for answers to what happened. I can't imagine what's going on in the minds of the families, friends and community.

At the end of the day, the medical system running our lives has some work to do.

Lorne Beaudette's avatar

Good plan, ignor it and maybe it will go away, at least long enough to spin it into a far right problem rather than one created by woke progressive policies and school programming.

Don's avatar

I don't think anyone wants to ignore any of this, and yes, our Gov't" WILL quickly politicize this heartbreak in their media..(exposing what cowardly narcissists they are)...and just wait till they start slamming Juno for reporting details of the suspect "in this innapropriate time"..while THEY have the same details, but are gagged by their boss..especially Carney..who doesn't want the trans thing mentioned

al's avatar

Of course the biggest part of this is the tragic loss of young lives. The victims and family are in my prayers. Another sad thing is the anti gun lobby is popping champagne corks...May 2020 2.0 gun bans coming

Don's avatar

Claims about an 'epidemic' of trans shooters circulating on social media are false, CBC expert says..

CBC, huh?.. expert, huh? Online, huh?...well, as half the crap online is bullshit..and the other half are “experts”..and CBC is ALL (Carney’s) bullshit, I’ll go with the Indie news journalists at Juno/ True North/ Rebel/ Northern Perspective.. etc...cuz WE support them willingly..not like the MSM, who’s massive paycheques from Carney are stolen from our FORCED tax $$$$...(and Carney has been known to lie on occasion!!...)

..The individual alleged to be the shooter in the deadly attack at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School in British Columbia has been identified by a close family member as "Jesse Strang."..Cosmin Dzsurdzsa Juno News
