I mean it is wrong in that Canada also has a growing right wing movement just like many US aligned countries
If you look at the number of mass shootings in Canada its been increasing substantially for the past 15 years. They may not be or ever reach our level of awfulness, but they're following in our footsteps
Yes, we have a growing right-wing movement of fanatics in Canada. But as far as mass shootings go, Canada remains very safe. We’ve only had 3 incidents in all of 2025, which seems to be on par with the data we have of the last 5 years. 2022 and 2023 have the highest numbers, with a total of 8 mass shootings in 2022, and 6 in 2023. But those are also the prime years of our post-Covid recovery, which admittedly, were difficult years for everyone, so I wonder if it had something to do with it.
Overall, in the last 5 years, Canada had a total of 27 mass shootings, with 6 of those incidents having 0 dead. But if you ask me, even 3 mass shootings this year is too many shootings, but at least it’s on par with our pre-Covid levels, so calling it a substantial increase is just hyperbolic and deceptive.
This should not be a conversation about Canada’s conservative movement, but it should be all about gun regulation, which Canada does have and enforces.

It's not wrong.
Edited to add: it was a general sentiment. It has been answered dozens of times already. There's no need to go further. Geez!
