If a person from Muslim majority country (or is a Muslim) did this to a group of Christians or Jewish people, we'd call it terrorism.
(I'd also be willing to bet that if the situation were reversed they would mention the religion of the perpetrator).

Retaliation, tit for tat, Palestinians attacking Jews, Islam attacking Israel, Muslims killing Infidels. When is it going to stop? When can we all live in peace? Good question and nobody has an answer.

I'm pretty sure that PM Trudeau called it terrorism. "This was a terrorist attack, motivated by hatred, in the heart of one of our communities," Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Parliament."
_Did someone say it wasn't terrorism?
_Is there a possibility that we don't yet know if the perpetrator was a zealot acting out of religious fervor? Maybe he identifies as a Chistian, a Jew, an atheist or etc. Maybe not.
So, what is your point? Why not get the facts BEFORE pointing out the alleged hypocrisy?

SPC Kevin Ford - The attack took place "On Sunday, June 6, 2021 [ET], at approximately 8:40 p.m."
Source: https://heavy.com/news/nathaniel-veltman/
On June 7, 2021 2:00pm ET CBC News released an article on the attack. The article quotes the mayor of London Ontario. ""This was an act of mass murder, perpetrated against Muslims — against Londoners — and rooted in unspeakable hatred,"
You posted on June 8, 2021 time unknown.
The article you linked was amended on June 8, 7:43 pm, less than 48 hours after the attack.
Based on the amended article, some time prior to the article being amended PM Trudeau stood before the Canadian Parliament and called it an "act of terrorism." If less than 48 is too long, during an on-going investigation, what is an acceptable time frame? How did you arrive at that amount of time?

IIRC, I arrived at it when I read the article in the morning and thought to myself, hmm if this were a muslim person they would have already raised the specter of this being terrorism. Pretty much immediately.

6 Insanely Reckless Media Accusations That Ruined Lives
You would think the birth of the Information Age and greater access to instant fact checking would make cases like these more rare. You would be wrong.

Maj John Bell - I agree. My general complaint wasn't that they should have done it right off the bat in this situation. My complaint is that they do it in others depending on the religion of the perpetrator.
