If only our politician's could be more realistic and truthful about the potential root cause for gun violence.
Mentioned in the CBC news link:
"
Countless research has found that gun violence is rooted in social and economic inequality."
The government has a low priority in keeping the public informed with relevant statistics.

I am guessing municipal/provincial/federal governments don't have a solid strategy to deal with social and economic inequality.
Trudeau wants to be known as an international ambassador of goodwill instead of addressing social and economical inequality in our country:

"It was interesting to read David Akin's numbers on Trudeau's dollar handouts in his first 100 days in office. By his calculations*it amounts to $5.3 billion, of which slightly less than a billion dollars was spent inside Canada."

The Liberals sure have social and economic equality as one of their priorities - under control !!
I am only being sarcastic about the Liberals inability to govern the country !!! I feel very sorry for the innocent victims and their families caught in the crossfire of gun violence.
The Liberals and John Tory are trying to distract us from learning about the truth, with being unable to help disadvantaged Canadians = "spin doctor"
