🇨🇦 Syrian Refugee Family Flees War, Loses Son to 14-Year-Old Shooter in Hamilton Mall

Nabil Askafe's parents escaped Syria in 2016 seeking safety. Ten years later, their 16-year-old son was shot dead at Jackson Square by a 14-year-old charged with second-degree murder. While a vigil was held for Nabil, another shooting down the street killed a 19-year-old the same night. The father now fears sending his other children to school. This is the diversity dividend no one talks about.

Hamilton wasn't importing gang violence and teenage killers a generation ago. Mass migration without assimilation, paired with catch-and-release youth justice, has turned malls into free-fire zones. The mother says she didn't come to Canada to lose her son. Canadians didn't vote to turn their cities into war zones either. But here we are, collecting death certificates while Trudeau's legacy rots in real time.
