BREAKING: Premier David Eby holds emergency press conference on SCHOOL SHOOTING in Tumbler Ridge BC 10 people confirmed DEAD including the SHOOTER. Worst MASS Shooting in BC History

In the aftermath of the most devastating and horrific mass shooting in Canada, and following the identification of the perpetrator by the RCMP, attempts to centre or politicize the individual’s gender identity or expression are both misguided and harmful. Identity must not be weaponized to advance narratives that distract from the real and immediate human loss before us. Our collective focus must remain where it belongs - on the victims, the survivors, first responders, their families, their neighbours, their friends, and the community of Tumbler Ridge. They are the ones carrying the unimaginable weight of this tragedy, and they are the ones who deserve our unwavering support. This act is indefensible, regardless of who committed it. Violence stands on its own as a moral failure. It does not belong to any community, nor should it ever be used to stigmatize one. At this moment, our responsibility is not to amplify division, but to respond with compassion, steadiness, and care for those most profoundly affected. Canada grieves with Tumbler Ridge.
