muslim-majority countries: At least six people were killed and 18 were wounded, according to Guelph Mercury. On both sides of the border, it seemed, anti-Muslim sentiment was driving the news. As President Donald Trump faced a storm of protest against his executive order banning travelers and immigrants from a number of Muslim-majority countries, a mosque in Quebec City was attacked by a white nationalist gunman on Sunday night. But the Canadian and American governments struck very different notes the next day. Addressing the House of Commons, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called the assault on the mosque a terrorist attack. And as long as Trump is in the White House, the contrasts between his divisive, nationalist presidency and Canada's current embrace of inclusiveness and multiculturalism seem likely to grow even more stark.
