it was just a great version of the anthem

O Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love thou dost in us command. We see thee rising fair, dear land, The True North, strong and free; And stand on guard, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee. Refrain O Canada! O Canada! O Canada! We stand on guard for thee. O Canada! We stand on guard for thee. O Canada! Where pines and maples grow, Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow, How dear to us thy broad domain, From East to Western Sea; Thou land of hope for all who toil! Thou True North, strong and free! (Refrain) O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies May stalwart sons and gentle maidens rise, To keep thee steadfast through the years, From East to Western Sea. Our own beloved native land, Our True North, strong and free! (Refrain) Ruler Supreme, Who hearest humble prayer, Hold our dominion within Thy loving care. Help us to find, O God, in Thee, A lasting, rich reward, As waiting for the Better Day We ever stand on guard. (Refrain)

Go watch simpleflips play Mario maker

I am not the biggest fan of those streams

I prefer his mario 64 content

Also since no one posted about it

truck of peace attack in Toronto

There are some good moments from mm but I agree sm64 simpleflips is better

go watch FranXX

I am going to the bathroom, then showering

since I have not showered in a few days

i guess you are slightly french as a canadian

here is the article

>naming the attacker

fucking bigots

shouldn't there being cameras and witnesses make it a short investigation?

investigation probably as in motive

No. You have to inspect footage which means you have to track the camera owners get warrants, interrogate all the witnesses

if you watch the video in the article I posted, he yells at them to kill him

I hate stuff like this because there's always the same "mentally ill/terrorist" debate over and over and over.

There should be no debate on terrorists, should secure the country

I think that to legally be considered a terrorist you either have to claim to be a part of a terrorist organization or the attack has to be politically motivated...I forget which.

politically motivated

People pretend that "mentally ill" is the nice term for spree killers and "terrorist" is the mean one.

And nobody ever learns anything.

It drives me crazy.

no one cares

they talk about it for a few days, then move on

hell, psychologists have told news agencies that creating a frenzy over mass shootings leads to more, they don't care.

a media ban would be more effective than a gun ban

3rd try

they should stop giving the attackers their names

it only leads to the attackers thinking they can become famous and fear-mongering toward whatever ethnicity the dude is

they gave out the name because armenia isn't a muslim nation

i'm sure the majority of people don't know that and will assume it is anyway because of its proximity to the middle east

they'll just blame the muslims anyway

not in Canadia

muslims are pure and innocent

can't blame them

the media will be sure to tell you that Armenia is an orthodox christian nation

The media fetishizes spree killings. They go through every detail of the killer's life and if someone's a total whacko, they go out and kill a bunch of people so everyone will know how much they've suffered.

this news reaches the ignorant people of the usa as well though

it's not just canadia

Watching mainstream news is terrible. When it's not using propaganda to make money, it's pandering to its viewerbase to make money.

Better to be uninformed than to be misinformed.

You should do what I do

whenever something happens

watch like 3 different news streams and a live twitter feed

take everything with a grain of salt and look at things from everyone's point of view

that's why i watchcool news

like drama alert

That works when rival news organizations disagree on something. But for example, both right and left wing news organizations in the US are pro-war.

oh shit

wait

Toronto

maybe Rob died

has he tweeted in the last 2 hours
