Once a global rallying cry, Canada’s institutions have abandoned the consensus of ‘Je suis Charlie’

This week, while spring cleaning, I opened a drawer and found an old copy of the satirical French magazine, Charlie Hebdo.

Not an ordinary issue, but the edition published one week after the magazine was targeted by a violent terrorist attack, in which 12 people were murdered and 11 others were injured. The cover defiantly showed a tearful Muhammad holding a sign reading “Je suis Charlie” (I am Charlie).
