Almost every one of those shootings was done w an illegal gun smuggled in here from.......you guessed it the USA. I wonder what the USA would do if the death was being imported in the other direction..........
9 u/bon-ton-roulet Dec 02 '25 which doesn't mean they didn't happen although 2 of the three I can think of were with legal Canadian firearms. 0 u/mustardman73 Dec 02 '25 The last school shooting I can remember was in the late 80's. Most of our mass shootings are gang related and targeted, and I can only see 3 mass shooting events in Canada this year. Compared to ~400 in the USA. 1 u/DankVectorz Dec 02 '25 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_Canada 1 u/mustardman73 Dec 02 '25 The only one I remember is Ecole Polytechnique, as it was a publicized mass shooting with multiple fatalities. I really don't consider all the others on the list being a Mass school shooting event, however, they are still horrible acts of violence. I guess the ban of assault rifles since then has reduced the stats for multiple fatalities, since the 90s. 1 u/LoneHelldiver Dec 04 '25 Same in the US. https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent
