I use articles from Canada as well as from America from a student newspaper, and recently I had sent a student an article about a canadian incident from 1989 where a man masscred 14 women at a univeristy in Montreal, Canada. This brought about changes in the system of gun control and brought about more notice to violence aganist women, so good things come out of the bad. We learn as s society in Canada how to make our country safer. This event was the worst shooting in Canadian history, until this morning....(April 20th, 2020)
This morning all over my facebook page and even on the Japanese news, was my brith place of Nova Scotia .... a killer shooting people and by the end 17 people dead , it had now become the worst mass shooting in the history of Canada. I`m glad these types of events are rare in Canada, but I am saddened and shocked that this happened in my peaceful birthplace.
I am glad that to my knowledge all my family and friends are safe. But, my heart is breaking for their friends and neighbours who have lost people today. I hope that Canada and the world will learn something from this situation and that again something good will come from it.
I hope you will join me to learn about this and many more crime files from murder to kidnapping to robbery to faking ones death, there are so many interesting cases to discuss and learn from the situations.
If you would like to talk about this situation, vocabulary from the videos etc. Please contact me , set up a crime files class or casual chat.
