Mark Carney calls Toronto U.S. consulate gunfire ‘reprehensible’

Prime Minister of Canada Mark Carney stated that the shots fired toward the United States Consulate General Toronto early this morning were a reprehensible act of violence and an attempt at intimidation. Writing on X, Carney said he was relieved that no one was injured. He added that the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and other federal agencies would provide all necessary resources to assist the Toronto Police Service in their investigation to identify and bring those responsible to justice. Carney also said the government’s Incident Response Group had recently reviewed potential changes to Canada’s threat landscape and stressed the importance of continued vigilance to strengthen domestic security.
