In regards to the original article...

"To be sure, Mr. Lepine hated women, Mr. Fabrikant hated his engineering colleagues, and Mr. Gill hated everyone. But all of them had been marginalized in a society that valued 'pure laine.'

I'm an anglophone in Quebec; I don't feel marginalized or see why a reason why someone would. If anything, the situtation is reversed. You can live in Montreal and not speak French at all and be accomodate quite easily. Almost everyone speaks English, signs are posted in both languages, municipal and provincial forms/documents are available in English.
Further, Monteral is a highly multi-cultural city, probably one of the most on the continent. Select three random people from Montreal, and theres a pretty good chance that none of them will be "pure French". Its completely feasible, and in fact, highly probable that the lingustic/ethnic of the three men is nothing more than coincidence. The only thing the three shooters did have in common, was some serious mental problems. The conclusions drawn by the author are completely assinine in my opinion.
