Most of the coverage is in French.


The CBC is probably your best bet for coverage in English:

It's very likely unrelated to ultra-right white nationalist groups.
Nope, they did it because of GITMO, the video and use of the words, radical islamic terrorism. All we need to know.


If Canada was smart they would just issue a statement that, 'we may never know their motivation' or simply borrow obama's well worn thesaurus and relabel it work place violence.


Sad for Canada today.

They are of the same ideology ? Why would they do such a thing ? I've been told Islam is a religion of piece.

No it's not OK. It's never OK.


But when faced with senseless tragedies like this, people will seek explanations. Even before we have all the facts. It's just human nature.

Okay? No. Far from that.

Will it make sense? According to Islam, yes.

Seems CNN already moved the story from top news to the corner.. in another hour it will probably be off the first page. Doesn't seem this attack is going to fit the narrative they were hoping for. That being, crazy white people shooting up a mosque stemming from President Trumps message of hate.

Trump should have really put North Africa in perspective more (besides Libya, which he took care of).

So I'm really not surprised about the Moroccan one.
From what I've seen in the media, with articles like "Syrian refugees celebrate their first Christmas in their new home", Syrian refugees admitted here were disproportionately Christian. This is not to say a majority were Christian, but a lot of them were. Notably, there seemed to a high level of representation among them from Syria's Armenian minority, which is Christian.
