Why Canada Races on Gun Policy When America Crawls – New York Times, June 2022

Canadian police: 10 Dead, 15 Injured from Stabbings – The Hill, Sep 5, 2022

Gun control didn’t work. Maybe it’s time for some knife control.

A series of stabbings in two communities in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan left 10 people dead and 15 wounded, authorities said Sunday. Police are looking for two suspects.

Rhonda Blackmore, the Assistant Commissioner of the RCMP Saskatchewan, said some of the victims appear to have been targeted by the suspects but others appear to have been attacked at random. She couldn’t provide a motive.

“It is horrific what has occurred in our province today,” Blackmore said.

If only there were a law against stabbing people.

Trudeau recently called for further tightening gun laws.

Based on statistics from Canadian authorities, 297 people were shot and killed in 2021, while 242 were stabbed to death.

I don’t think either group was especially happier.
