2018 danforth shooting — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.133.159 ( talk) 16:34, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
"This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it." Really wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Youngdrake ( talk • contribs) 17:35, 6 June 2014 (UTC)
Most definitions of a massacre suggest that there must be "many" or "multiple" deaths rather than just one. Also the death of the perpetrator from law enforcement probably should not be counted in the massacre. That would eliminate the Dawson College shooting and the Parliament Hill shooting from this List. How high the var should be set is a matter of discussion.

Sorting this by date sorts the date alphanumerically, rather than in chronological order. I don't know enough about Wikipedia to know the best way to fix this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.85.29.71 ( talk) 01:12, 19 May 2015 (UTC)
2 killed and many more wounded in knife attack http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/accused-in-loblaw-warehouse-stabbing-faces-more-charges-1.2557619 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:56A:F782:9D00:7007:A20E:F006:6C28 ( talk) 22:31, 3 December 2015 (UTC)
The introduction says "the deliberate slaughter of a large number of people". Dawson College shooting involves two people killed: A man killed another and committed suicide. Is this event covered by the above definition of massacre? -- 176.239.106.107 ( talk) 09:24, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

See Category talk:Massacres in Canada#Inclusion requirements for a past discussion regarding the three I just removed. There are a lot of entries from the past 25 years that appear to be gross mischaracterizations or exaggerations for what a massacre truly is. The start of the article refers to articles for other similar events like school shootings, spree killings, etc. Much of these from the past 25 years appear to be more appropriate for inclusion at these other articles. In short, this article shouldn't be used as a catch all for all tragic events that are similar to or mischaracterized as massacres. Hwy43 ( talk) 22:35, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
Hwy43, Kyle1278, do you think that Danzig Street shooting should be included on the list? In brief: three gunmen opened fire (at each other) while in a crowd of 200, killing 2 and injuring 24. The fatalities were bystanders. It is generally reported as a mass shooting, and I've listed it there. I honestly don't feel it fits here but I thought I'd ask. – Reidgreg ( talk) 21:13, 14 August 2017 (UTC)
An IP attempted to add Toronto van attack to the list. Reading the top prose, I believe it rather belongs at List of rampage killers, under Vehicular homicide. Yngvadottir ( talk) 03:07, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
The List of Massacres in Canada does not include the Mayerthorpe Trajedy. On March 3, 2005 James Roszko shot and killed 4 RCMP officers. Four officers ambushed and killed in the line of duty surely qualifies as a massacre. Respectfully, AL Stover
We should discuss whether or not this event -- the Nova Scotia killings -- belongs in this article. Apparently, some editors consider it a "massacre" and some do not. I think that -- regardless of pedantic wording and definitions -- this event should fall within the scope of an article like this. (Maybe that means we need to change the article title?). I don't think that the word "massacre" (in the title) was meant to eliminate an event like the 2020 Nova Scotia killings. Thanks. Joseph A. Spadaro ( talk) 17:34, 22 April 2020 (UTC)
This is a list of events in Canada which are commonly characterized as massacres. — Kawnhr ( talk) 17:07, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
I wonder why when the attack is by First Nations persons against White People it is noted as "First Nations Violence" while when it is done by White People against the First Nations it is described as 'Civilian violence' ? Shouldn't we write 'White People Violence' instead? Seems logical. Dietrichdie2 ( talk) 00:17, 28 June 2020 (UTC)
Massacre Island, Ontario is the putative site of a killing of 21 people on June 6, 1736. The event fits the criterion "slaughter in numbers" and the criterion "used in the name". However, there is dispute about location -- some say the site of the massacre is a different island which is now in the US. And there could be dispute whether this remote part of the Pays d'en Haut was part of "Canada" at the time. So: I intend to add it, but will wait a while to see whether there are objections.
