Based on her reaction to the Sexual Assault Statistics, the answer is yes.So is riddling babies with bullets. Did we have to wait for violence against women before Canada's official outrage could be registered?
The issue is most Canadians have NEVER faced an enemy whose sworn purpose is to destroy you. Complacent, submissive and soft most are, and would wilt before a threat, preferring to submit.
Jordan Peterson has a viable explanation in the Post for those who subscribe. Not an enjoyable read and his resentment over his own treatment certainly can be read into the background yet it is both plausible and terrifying to think about.
Time for Trudeau to wield his vast international influence to convene a ceasefire.

You’ve exactly described my time at Brandon University in the mid 80’s.You know it's strange. When I went through university a few decades ago the vast bulk of us were there to get an education. There were a few folks who were in the less difficult faculties who constantly ran off at the mouth and got into the student union and ran the university paper. This small group were rabble rousers and everyone, including the administration, left them to play in their own sandbox and didn't pay much attention to them.
Somewhere since then administrators started kotowing to their ridiculous demands and social positions. My guess is that the vast majority of students are still there to get an education and wander past the protests. There seem to be just enough critical mass to these movements so that administrators don't confront them for fear of being labelled with one or another of the derogatory adjectives du jour.
It's sad. Education matters. There is too much proselytizing going on in schools these days whether its old far right religious beliefs or the newer far left dogmas.
My take on all this is that we, as a nation and as a civilization, are carrying a huge load of guilt. Christianity is largely founded on the concept of original sin. And Canada now seems to bend over backwards to do almost anything that could possibly smack of moral wrongdoing. After all, we as Canadians (as Justin often says) are better than that…yada, yada. Everyone seems so hellbent on offending any religious, ethnic or racial group that we easily cave in to the many pressure groups, crusading media, Big Business claiming they have all the solutions and especially the horribly corrupt United Nations demanding that we accept huge numbers of refugees, many of whom are out to destroy us.
Jordan Peterson: Blame idiotic Marxism for the demented antisemitism oozing out of universities
Presidents of Harvard, MIT and UPenn turn blind eye to calls for genocide against Jews, while claiming the moral high ground
President Joe Biden has the same problem with Muslim voters, especially in Michigan.
Lots of well-fed, over weight tubbies in that photo!!
JL80 you might find that the same article responds to your comments as well. It isn't Christianity that has led to the mess we are in but the rejection of all sense of morality by the so-called elite. And more and more people are rebelling against it. Whether you like him or not, Trump was the first major leader to pull those who are frustrated with the direction things are headed together and respond to their complaints. Unfortunately, they got branded as right-wing kooks just as, in a similar way, our truckers did. Most of Trumps supporters, most of the drivers aren't radicals they are just frustrated.
Don't lump Protestants in with all that Catholic guilt.
So are Jewish voters. He's successfully pissed them both off.
