What they need in Canada is a gun registry. Then, this kind of thing would never happen.

Pauline Marois is a socialist as well as a sovereigntist. That won’t fly well with English Canada.

A man in his 40s was shot dead an another critically wounded near where Pauline Marois was giving her victory speech to supporters before midnight Tuesday, prompting a swift response from the Parti Québécois leader’s security team and an evacuation of the downtown Montreal concert hall.

A man was swiftly arrested outside the venue and a rifle seized.

The man, wearing a blue robe and with his face partially covered by a balaclava, allegedly entered the venue from the back as Marois was giving a jubilant address calling for unity among Quebecers. The back door was about six metres from the stage.

“He shot at least one shot toward two victims,” Const. Danny Richer said.

A second man was critically injured in the incident, according to Montreal police. Just before 1 a.m., police confirmed a man in his 40s was pronounced dead at the scene.

A third man was taken to hospital and treated for shock.

“I would be lying to you to confirm 100 per cent that there was no danger to her or the people inside, but the shot was fired at the back of the building,” Cmdr. Ian Lafrenière of the Montreal police told reporters outside the scene.

“For us, this is considered a homicide scene,” Lafrenière said. It’s the city’s 22nd homicide of the year.

“What age exactly [the victim was], what was he doing here, I’m not going to confirm that,” he said, adding the man’s family had not yet been notified.

The gunman allegedly set a fire at the rear door of the building before he was detained by police.

Officers who were on scene extinguished the fire, Lafrenière said. Television images showed officers holding a man on the ground before he was led to a police car as well as officers handling a weapon that appeared to be an assault rifle.

The man shouted in French at TV cameras while being dragged toward the cruiser, “The English are waking up!” Police would only say that he spoke with an accent.

If I lived in elsewhere in Canada, especially Alberta, I’d be delighted to see the pesky Québécois leave the Confederation.

I wonder how it would affect the US, if at all. Presumably they would want to continue in NAFTA, but perhaps not.
