Not surprised, given the political climate of the university.

The subreddit for Waterloo is kinda infamous rife with incel shit. It's a tiny microcosm of the culture there, and I'm not surprised it boiled over.

Terrible. And while we don't have enough details at this time to do anything but guess, I wonder if incel and anti-feminist rhetoric had an impact here. Gender studies as a subject is heavily loathed by those types, sometimes to the degree of wishing violence on them.

The hateful and violent far right is on the rise in Canada, and Pierre Poilievre is encouraging it.
