epitome of incomprehensibility Christian Martyr

You’re my Christian martyr
With my Montreal phone number
On your arm, no harm,
Just try to remember

I took off my shoes to pray
On that January day.
I’m living on the edge
Here in the snows of Côte des Neiges.

All the kids say
Phobic means scared,
I guess we’re losing
The war on terror.

I’m not afraid of
You doing common time
For surviving
Like it’s a crime.

Fans in Christchurch, your name on a gun.
You think you’re righteous, look how far you’ve come,
From the cross to the grave,
From the page to the floor.
You don’t need to make news
Just to give me the blues
When they do as you do
Just next door.

I’m not scared of anything that’s
Next to a library.
Piles of shoes in
Pictures can’t harm me,

They just make me cry because they
Should be lined up neatly
Like you saw in
Quebec City.

All the kids say
Phobic means scared,
I guess we’re losing
The war on terror.

Losing the programmers,
Grocery store owner,
Professor, pharmacist,
Health insurance worker.

Livestream my consciousness
That’s all you’ll ever get.
2017,
Never forget

It’s getting harder and harder
To be a Christian martyr these days.
It’s getting harder and harder
To be a Christian martyr these days.
But you’ve got my number,
You can dial in your crusade.

It’s getting harder and harder
To be a Christian martyr.
Harder and harder
To be a Christian martyr.
Harder and harder
To be a Christian martyr these days.
But you’ve got my number,
You can dial in your crusade.

It’s not my place to say I forgive.
If I could choose, it’s they not you who’d live
With the points of the stars
In the lights blurred by rain
Through the windows of cars
Near the Crescent Street bars
When what’s near and what’s far
Looks the same.

e_o_i It's been 5 years since the shooting, since six lives were taken (seven, counting the witness who died by suicide).

And people say "that doesn't happen here" after it does.

Is it unfair to segue to speaking against_Bill_21, against Islamophobia?

No, Legault. Sure, barring people from jobs isn't murder, but saying that is like saying segregation isn't slavery. We're not playing politics with tragedy, because it's not "playing". It's not an English vs. French thing. It's about being fair.
