In the morning, number 31 once again spoke on social networks, the day after a hectic day during which his team had to try, with more or less success, to manage the thorny issue of Price and his opinions on the possession of hunting weapons. However, the star athlete has somehow contradicted the Montreal organization.
- Listen to the interview with the survivor of the Polytechnique massacre, Nathalie Provost on Benoit Dutrizac’s show via QUB-radio :
“My heart and prayers go out to the families and victims of the Polytechnique shooting today,” he wrote. Despite a previously released statement, I was aware of the tragedy. I have been part of the Montreal community for 15 years and I understand the weight that this day represents in the community.
On Saturday, Price spoke out against an amendment to the federal government’s Bill C-21 that would impose more constraints on gun owners.
