Show Notes

The world has been shocked over the past few weeks over a series of knife attacks and beheadings in France, all of which appear to be terrroism related.  So when two people are killed and five wounded by a man with a sword in Quebec City many assume it must be terrorism.  But is it?  Borealis weighs in on why we need to be careful before we jump to conclusions.
