Canadian parliament on lockdown.

[Dakran]

National War Memorial and the Centre Block of Parliament Hill.

There is no official briefing yet. It seems to indicate that the situation is ongoing. The gunman is still at large, based on reports within the last 15 minutes.

The reports of a strong smell of gunpowder in the building is ominous, though.

Remember remember, the 22nd of October... Anyways... I do hope the situation is resolved without anymore casualties.

I dedicate this incident to all the Canadians who think they are more peaceful and civil than America

When Canada's murder level reaches America's then you can complain about some form of hypocrisy.

[Korouse]

Yeah, there's absolutely no record of Christians attacking governmental offices in North America before.

Oh wait...

And thus a plethora of hues hath been granted upon thou.

Really, Christians 1 minor terror attack and Muslims 9/11 and the Bostons bombings (ignoring ISIL and other world wide bombings), yet for you they are the same. When Christians readical do something like th 9/11 than call me.

Oh.

I was thinking about the American Revolution, personally...

Damn Liberals. You'd think they'd be smarter than that.

Damned Liberals, promoting harmony and peace and not judging people based on false stereotypes!

How dare they!

Anyway, my heart goes out to the family of the, and the actual, guard/soldier that was injured. And everyone who had to witness it and such.

The American Revolution wasn't based on Religion. Many of the founding fathers were Deist, Agnostic, etc.

Yeah, the 168 people killed by a Christian extremist - and the about 700 injured - at Oklahoma city are just a "minor attack" because if it's done by Christians it cannot be truly evil I guess. Or do we want to talk Breivik too?

Shame on you.

You source nowhere states that the both were motivated by Christian religion or that the perpetrators were religious Christians.

But hey let us assume that you are right.

On other hand we have 9/11 where more people are killed than in the two mentioned together. If that is not enough there are the Madrid bombings, the London bombings, Woolwich killing, Boston bombings. Than there are terror groups like ISIL. There you have your hard working Muslims are volunteering them, never heard for Jihadi Johhny?

And despite all that for you lefties Christian and Islam are the same? Shame on you for insulting people who dont have to do with this. Shame on you for letting thoose primitive stone age Middle easternes and inbreeding terrorists cells. It is all the faulth of the progressives and lefties why Malmo became rape capital of the world, and all that because of your stupid ideology which prooved many times to be failed.

Why should we condemn the billions of Muslims who don't do anything? Or the middle eastern who don't do anything. By this logic Albanians, Bosniaks, and Kosovans must also be barbaric or that the Muslims who are fighting terrorism must also be horrible people. What about all the Muslims (who make up the majority of the combatants) fighting against terrorism?

These acts don't represent the Muslim faith or it's people just like the attacks done by Christians don't represent the Christian faith or it's people and to say so is idiotic in a purely logical bases even the most conservative tea partier will tell you that.

Your assumptions on the Islamic faith are seemingly based of bigotry and hatred and those things do not make a credible argument.

I am aware, it was a mild joke about terrorist attacks on government offices. Most colonists were Christian.

Says who? You?

Give me one reason why a policy of promoting harmony and peace is not achievable?

The Beeb is running a live feed. They claim local reports are saying a gunman has been killed, but there's no official confirmation of that as of when I'm posting this.

Canadians, I thought your local content laws prevented you from importing this sort of American problem.

Edit: Reuters now says:

(Reuters) - A gunman shot and wounded a soldier in Ottawa on Wednesday and then entered the country's parliament buildings chased by police, with at least 30 shots fired in dramatic scenes in the heart of the Canadian capital.

A suspected gunman was shot dead inside the parliament building, a government minister said.

It was not clear whether the suspect had acted alone. Ottawa police said they were actively looking for one or more suspects.

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper was in a caucus meeting in parliament when gunfire erupted in the building, Veterans Affairs Minister Julian Fantino, a former policeman, told the Toronto Sun.

Harper was later safely removed from the building, and parliament was locked down.

Fantino said parliament's head of security, Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), had shot a suspect dead.

"All the details are not in, but the sergeant-at-arms, a former Mountie, is the one that engaged the gunman, or one of them at least, and stopped this," Fantino said. "He did a great job and, from what I know, shot the gunman and he is now deceased."

Quite possibly ISIS, though nothing yet confirmed. /CF source

I definitly smell ISIS and wonder how long it will be before ISIS launch an attack in the US

Yes, we totally have gunmen in our fucking U.S. Congress, my good sir.

Of course, since invading people and getting stuck in years of asymmetrical warfare to eliminate possible terrorism ALWAYS WORKS BETTER. :sarcasm:

Unfortunately if these are confirmed to be ISIS, it's possible that the attacks on Canadian soil might increase in the next few days.

You may recall we had a little problem at the White House not all that long ago. Since Canada has a parliament, and Harper was in the parliament building when this guy started shooting up the place, it seems very similar.

I don't see any reason to assume this is IS. It could be, but when people affiliated with them were going to launch an attack in Australia, it was going to be a public beheading. A shooting spree doesn't seem like their MO, or at least an MO particularly associated with them.

As far as I am aware they haven't ruled out multiple gunmen.

NORAD and FBI increase alert posture.

Soldier shot by gunman dies, and apparently another guard has been wounded.

Or liberal hawks. Like me.

I'm almost like a liberal version of Murkwood foreign policy-wise.

I must say I find joking about an attack which may be still in progress tasteless to put it mildly.
