What can anyone say about a mass murder in a mosque that is not trite, obnoxious or both? Humans have always done murder despite all efforts to prevent it and we will never be free of it. We are all prone to sin here, definitely including newspaper columnists, whose job includes painting error in a suitably unflattering light. Six people are dead in Sainte-Foy, others may die, and many survivors have had a jagged hole torn in their lives. As their bell tolls for all of us, let us seek compassion in our hearts for everyone including those wrong in public debate.
