Charlie Kirk has passed away at the age of 31. A husband, a father of two, and a man of God. He completely reshaped our country and had so much ahead of him. Gut-wrenching. Rest in peace, Charlie.

Take note: Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney said nothing about the racist slaughtering of Iryna Zarutska and said nothing about the shooting of Charlie Kirk. However, he does condemn the elimination of the Islamic Jihadists Hamas leadership. Got it?
