what if we started critical thoughtmaxxing

[Brad604 @Brad604]

I want to put this in perspective for some of my American followers who may not understand the scope of this. Since 1902 Canada has had a total of 72 school shootings in Elementary/Middle/High School and Universities combined. This is the second deadliest school shooting in Canadian history, and the worst ever for a high school.
To be clear we have had 72 school shootings over the past 124 years. In the USA in just 2025, you had 233. So I really hope none of you are trying to offer us anything but your condolences right now...
