Former Globe and Mail writer Jan Wong graced the Canadian University Press delegates with her candour and with heart in Edmonton the evening of Jan. 15.
Wong reported on the Dawson College shooting of 2006. In her high-profile piece (which, like any major newspaper, was vetted by her editor), Wong noted that all three post-secondary shootings in Canada (and Quebec) were at the hands of an ethnic minority, noting perhaps marginalization and non-integration was a factor.
“A terrible backlash” was how Wong described the reaction to her piece.
