If so, I’m all for it. Once a name is released, everyone goes to social media. This is the only time LE has to be first st that.

That’s unpossible; guns are illegal in Canada. It must have happened in Toronto, OH instead of Toronto, ON.

IMMIGRATION EXPERT: TRUDEAU HAS LOST TRACK OF ‘TENS OF THOUSANDS’ OF SYRIAN REFUGEES

I have no idea if this is related, but it is taking authorities an awfully long time to publicly ID the perp....

Same name as the shooter in Orlando? Some kind of Nom-de-Guerre?

But they got Tavares to play with Austin Matthews.

That was a sweet deal for the Leafs.

Do Irishmen go on shooting rampages, too? I thought they preferred their fists.

Which reminds me of a joke—

During the troubles, an Irishman goes to confession:

“Bless me Father, for I have sinned, its been a week since my last confession. I blew up a train.”

“My son, you need to confess your sins, but not your politics. Now for your penance, I want you to go and do the Stations.”

The problem with Islam is that it wouldn’t be a joke.

This proves that hockey should be banned. It leads to violence. If not with sticks and skates by the players at the rink, then by crazed fans after a game.

You mean, they wouldn’t speak of it at confessions? Well, what sins would they confess?

The point of the “joke” is that the terrorist (rightly) views it as a sin and the priest (wrongly) views it as a legitimate political act and then ends up with a terrible pun—the Stations can refer to either the Stations of the Cross, which in days gone by would not have been an unusual penance for confession (it is a meditation on the Passion that ought to take 10-12 minutes) or to the train stations.
