You'd rather the government based its advisories on emotionally-charged narratives rather then empirical facts?

Mass shootings of dozens of people don't have an effect on the safety of traveling in a country of 350 million people. Just like a horrific plane crash that gets lots of press doesn't make air travel less safe in a world where there are over 100,000 flights a day. And I wouldn't want the government of Canada pretending it does, just to validate peoples' emotional response to a crash.
