The response to the #TumblerRidgeShooting from far-right media, online commentators and even an elected official in Canada is another dark example of how pervasive anti-trans misinformation has become, even in Canada.

There was no "motive" for the #TumblerRidgeshooting in #BritishColumbia besides that #JesseVanRootselaar was a sick in the head psychopath who was angry with the world and who hated "himself", or should I say "herself". Pure evil which rarely is seen in #Canada.

Working on a painting commission today, but it's hard when the #TumblerRidgeShooting is on my mind. We need a serious conversation in #Canada about making guns harder to obtain & restricted in type & use. Enough of the "guns don't kill people, people do" BS. This demands a firm response. #cdnpoli

The #TumblerridgeShooting is an agony exceeding the capacity of words, a tragedy of unspeakable loss & horrific heartache. It should never have happened, & don't anyone trot out that old saw that "guns don't kill people, people do" BS. We need stricter #guncontrol in #Canada. Pure & simple. #cdnpoli
