It's now been two years since Alexandre Bissonnette walked into a mosque in Quebec City and opened fire.
He killed six people, and wounded five others, as 35 other worshippers including several children looked on in horror.
The next day Bissonnette told police he had attacked the mosque, because he was worried refugees would come to Quebec and kill his family.
And later we found out that his views on Muslims were heavily influenced by the far right in Canada and the United States.
And that he worshipped Donald Trump.
As the country mourns the victims of the massacre in that Quebec City mosque, we are also finding out more about the terrorist who shot them.
And what might have motivated Alexandre Bissonnette to commit such a brutal and cowardly act.
The suspect in the deadly attack on a Quebec City mosque was known in the city’s activist circles as an online troll who was inspired by extreme right-wing French nationalists, stood up for U.S. President Donald Trump and was against immigration to Quebec – especially by Muslims.
But even though Trump's anti-Muslim campaign may have emboldened him, the bigotry that inflamed him was nurtured right here in Canada.
