The premier of Quebec province, Philippe Couillard, said security would be increased at mosques in Quebec City and Montreal. We are all Quebecers.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said police were providing additional protection for mosques in that city following the Quebec shooting. Like France, Quebec has struggled at times to reconcile its secular identity with a rising Muslim population, many of them from North Africa. Mass shootings are rare in Canada, which has stricter gun laws than the United States, and news of the shooting sent a shockwave through mosques and community centers throughout the mostly French-language province.
Incidents of Islamophobia have increased in Quebec in recent years. The face-covering, or niqab, became a big issue in the Canadian federal election, especially in Quebec, where the majority of the population supported a ban on it at citizenship ceremonies. In , police investigated after a mosque in the Saguenay region of the province was splattered with what was believed to be pig blood.
Wolfe thought there was no one like her.

When he was a colonel, and had been through the wars and at court, he still believed she was a match for all the beauties. He was not lucky enough to take after her in looks, except in her one weak feature, a cutaway chin. His body, indeed, seems to have been made up of the bad points of both parents: he had his rheumatism from his father. But this spirit was made up of all their good points ; and no braver ever lived in any healthy body than in his own sickly, lanky six foot three. Wolfe's parents went to live at Westerham in Kent shortly after they were married ; and there, on January 2, , in the vicarage—where Mrs Wolfe was staying while her husband was away on duty with his regiment—the victor of Quebec was born.
Two other houses in the little country town of Westerham are full of memories of Wolfe. One of these was his father's, a house more than two hundred years old when he was born. Here Wolfe and his younger brother Edward used to sit in the winter evenings with their mother, while their veteran father told them the story of his long campaigns.
The ballad of Daniel Wolfe - The Globe and Mail
So, curiously enough, it appears that Wolfe, the soldier who won Canada for England in , sat under the arms of the king in whose service the sailor Cabot hoisted the flag of England over Canadian soil in This house has been called Quebec House ever since the victory in The other house is Squerryes Court , belonging then and now to the Warde family, the Wolfes' closest friends. Wolfe and George Warde were chums from the first day they met.
Warde lived to be an old man and actually did become a famous cavalry leader.
Perhaps when he charged a real enemy, sword in hand, at the head of thundering squadrons, it may have flashed through his mind how he and Wolfe had waved their whips and cheered like mad when they galloped their ponies down the common with nothing but their barking dogs behind them. Here he worked quietly enough till just before he entered on his teens. Then the long-pent rage of England suddenly burst in war with Spain.
Conquest of 1760
The news was cried through the streets all night. The noise of battle seemed to be sounding all round Swinden's school, where most of the boys belonged to naval and military families. Soldiers were marching into every English camp.

Crowds were singing and cheering. First one boy's father and then another's was under orders for the front. Among them was Wolfe's father, who was made adjutant-general to the forces assembling in the Isle of Wight. What were history and geography and mathematics now, when a whole nation was afoot to fight!

And who would not fight the Spaniards when they cut off British sailors' ears? That was an old tale by this time ; but the flames of anger threw it into lurid relief once more. Wolfe was determined to go and fight. No-thing could stop him. Never mind! He would go as a volunteer and win his commission in the field.
