What's the difference if his ethnic, native or what ever label anyone wants to put. He was a human being. White, black, yellow, green, orange. Who should care except raciest. I agree with guest. He was a Canadian. So what if he was a Muslim, Indian, Eskimo, Irish, Scotch, English, Dutch and so on. He was still a Canadian.
No, I guess we have to put a label. That's important. So we can continue to create hostilities among ourselves. What's the old saying? "Simplify, simplify" or did John Prine say it best, "Common Sense Don't Make Sense no More".
The point I guess I'm trying to make is that this thread should try and stay focused on the situation that took place and what ideas can be contributed to preventing such an atrocity in happening again. But not on his nationality.
