Bissonnette's agression happened a few days after Trump's first muslim ban. Trump (Le Pen, Quebec city trash radios and right wing populists) legitimize terrorism just like some fundamentalist imams.
There is another similarity between Bissonnette and Breivik: their love of guns. In Quebec city, where I am now, it boggles my mind that a university student should have a restricted arm's permit.
There's also a big difference between both: Breivik killed young norwegians, not muslims. I think Breivik killed what he saw as rivals, because of his life failures.
Terrorism is a legal term: if an assailant injures someone, he will get a jail term but if terrorism can be proven, he will get a stiffer jail term. In this case, he will spend the rest of his life in jail anyway.
Legally it's very difficult to prosecute for terrorism when there's only one assailant unless he confesses or writes a manifest beforehand.
The extreme-right wing trash radio (they don't mind the label and cheer at extreme-right gains everywhere) have the same responsibility some radical imams have in radicalization. They legitimize the hatred.
These are cautious terms because if legally there were compelling proof of a direct link there would be a prosecution. Trump or extreme-right trash radio (they welcome the label) did not directly tell Bissonnette to launch the shooting.
The killer is white and Quebec born. Described as right wing, pro Trump, anti-immigrant and anti-feminist.
Trump is not popular outside the US and this won't be forgotten here. It's taken very seriously.
Even Canada's former conservative PM would have surely condemned this act.
Unfortunately some people here import neo-nazi and demagogic trash radio attitudes from the US.
There is one and only killer, Alexandre Bissonnette, Quebec born.
Described by neighbors as shy and not mentally ill (although the act is insane).
He is described by a university colleague as right wing, pro Trump, pro Le Pen, anti-immigrant, anti-feminist. Obviously a gun lover.
He was trolling on a FB site welcoming immigrants.
Quebec city is known in the province of Quebec as a right wing trash radio nest, vocal but not representing the majority.
Quebec has the lowest number of homicide by firearms in Canada.
The debate on religious signs is centered on French like state laicity stipulating that civil servants should not wear any obvious religious signs. It doesn't concern life outside the civil servants duty.
Seen from Canada, it's seen as a quite undemocratic process: the rest of the world and in particular your neighboors might suffer from a choce in which we have no say.
Thank you for clarifying things on Iraq: the right course of action would have been to let people get rid of their dictator.
The outside intervention obviously brought tremendous chaos to the region.

Terrorism training is part of the political science courses?
Only one kills? It's a major difference.

According to Yves Boisvert of La Presse (center in European standards), who specializes in aspects of the law,
police sources say what goes on in the US came up during the interrogation as a motive.
The killer acted few days after the Trump decree.

Mohamed Belkhadir is a witness who was helping the victims.
Bissonnette is the only perpetrator.
Only one perpetrator, Alexandre Bissonnette, Quebec born.
Described as right wing by colleague.

Iraq is a clear case.
I'm sadly ignorant about Libya.
