Two men were arrested following last night's shooting at a Quebec City mosque that left six people dead and 19 wounded, in what Quebec's premier described as a "murderous act directed at a specific community."

Thirty-nine people escaped the Centre Culturel Islamique de Québec (Islamic cultural centre of Quebec) in the Sainte-Foy neighbourhood without injuries, according to Quebec provincial police Sgt. Christine Coulombe.

Initially, it was reported that eight people were wounded, but authorities updated that number to 19 Monday morning.

​Five were still in critical condition in hospital Monday morning, including three people who are in intensive care. Another 13 people have been released, according to a hospital spokesperson.

Coulombe said the people who died in the shooting, which occurred during Sunday evening prayers, ranged in age from 35 to 70.

    You need to shut the fuck up, and do it now ;)

    They have the Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve, and until that changes, don't rock the fucking boat, eh! They might reciprocate like Iran, and instead of losing Iranian visitors, we lose pancakes and waffles covered in miraculous goodness.

    I think you should apologize to Canada, but that's just me......

    Fear not, the northeast can simply ramp up production. It's a win-win as it will create more jobs! https://www.statista.com/statistics/372295/us-maple-syrup-production-share-by-state/ [statista.com]

      the strategic reserve exists to help enforce a cartel anyway. It's not a public service.

    Vermont, New York, Maine, Wisconsin, Ohio, New Hampshire, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, and Connecticut all produce real American maple syrup. And that "reserve" is kept in underground tanks, within reach of American horizontal drilling technology. [horizontaldrilling.org] Yes, good old American resourcefulness and ingenuity will again save the day.
