Frankly, when I was in school, if ANYONE showed up with a weapon they were narced on immediately. It was just not acceptable to bring a weapon to school, but that has changed. That cultural evolution is a direct response to the influx of images from elsewhere. Whether you care to admit it or not, the vast majority of those images come from south of the 49th. Canadians should be somewhat embarassed by this IMO. Canada is one of the greatest countries on earth (with the crappiest weather to go with it) and it should be able to do much better with its youth than to let it devolve into what is has. That is why seeing events like this saddens me.

That, I can agree with. Canada definitely has adopted the MTV Culture. I also agree Canada lacks a unique identity, and it is embarassing.
