Read more on the Quebec mosque shooting “Canada is an open, welcoming country that stands by its citizens,” Purchase wrote in the letter, which goes well beyond simply asking for a correction. The tweet appeared to be a consequence of early police reports in the wake of the shooting that said two suspects had been arrested. By early Tuesday evening, the tweet had been retweeted more than 900 times, and liked about 1,600 times. “Ramping up fear and closing our borders is not a solution,” Purchase wrote.
