dewline: Facepalming upon learning bad news (sad news)
[personal profile] dewline
Got the Labour Day Classic - Canadian Football League match between Saskatchewan Roughriders and the Winnipeg Blue Bombers being played in Regina - on the TV for background noise. I've been a Riders fan almost since I started walking, because of my upbringing.

Meanwhile, there's a three-province police search underway for two suspects in a case of multiple-homicide - 10 dead, 15 injured - that started in a First Nation and a neighbouring settler-founded community a ways north of Saskatoon. The crimes and the search they've triggered have made the news as far away from Saskatchewan as the UK (The Guardian), Germany (DW News), and Australia (ABC News) by now.

There is a severe dissonance here when I look at these two things together in the same posting...

The mass stabbing has made the mainstream news here.
