I guess thats what happens when assimilation occurs too rapidly.

His parents probably thought he was just being a modern, Canadian guy.


That's right, blame immigration. You have made a truly repugnant, racist suggestion.

How long do you think "assimilation" should take. Kimveer Gill was born in Canada.

Kimveer Gill attended English-language schools in Quebec. That means his parents attended English-language schools in Quebec. Under Quebec law since the 1970s, the children of all new immigrants must attend French-language schools.

So the family has been in Canada for at least two generations.

A few years ago there was a similar school shooting in Taber, Alberta; not exactly a hotbed of immigrant culture.

BTW, for every Kimveer Gill, there are literally millions of immigrants, children of immigrants and grandchildren of immigrants who do not commit random acts of murder. I am, myself, the grandchild of immigrants who came to Canada with nothing.
