Convicted B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton is in critical condition and undergoing surgery after he was assaulted by another inmate in a Quebec prison on Sunday.

The Correctional Service Canada (CSC) confirmed in a statement Tuesday that Pickton was the victim of a “major assault” at the maximum-security Port-Cartier Institution.

Two sources, including one police source, told Radio-Canada that Pickton is between life and death.

Pickton was taken to a hospital for treatment and the assailant is in solitary confinement according to the Quebec provincial police, the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), which is investigating.

Why would you? Pretty sure other than colonists my social studies didn’t talk about serial killers untill law class in grade 11

Last I heard the history of the October Crisis wasn’t being taught either.

It’s taught in Québec.

Quebec is often smarter than the rest of Canada.
