Aqsa Parvez is a "Canadian" tragedy -- not an immigrant tragedy, or a Pakistani tragedy, or indeed a Muslim tragedy. In her formative years, Aqsa was raised in Canada; oppressed by her pathologically patriarchal father in Canada; failed by the family, the friends of the family, the education system, the student counseling services, the social service sector -- in Canada. To make her tragedy a case of "these immigrant types with their medieval cultures" is to insult her memory and even worse learn nothing from it so that we can prevent it from happening again in the future -- in Canada.
