The two were tragic events in Canada, they're not being conflated. BTW.... George II Apr 2018 #7

Maybe the Humboldt kid feels sorry for the Leafs fan, and how he'll get his heart broken AGAIN. WhiskeyGrinder Apr 2018 #8

Sadness is kind of a different emotion... Wounded Bear Apr 2018 #10

One was a traffic accident. The other was an act of murder by someone with a social agenda. One involved hockey. One didn't. Also, the kid in the Toronto jersey looks oddly like the suspect in the Toronto attack with the shaved head and dark hair. I give the cartoon a D+.

Seriously, when I see this cartoon, I see hockey. The Toronto incident wasn't related to hockey. Trying to connect the two incidents over other tragic accidents and murders in Canada through a hockey image is just bad cartooning.
