Once again...

The most surprising aspect of this tragedy... is the feigned, overdone media portrayal of how "shocked" everyone is.
People in Kimmirut, population 411, were shocked at the news.

"In a small town like this, especially," said Ooloota Lyta, who works as a receptionist in the hamlet's town hall.
The fact is, as the Globe editors are all too aware, Nunavut has the highest per capita homicide rate in Canada.
