Canadian parliament on lockdown.

This is probably the most violent act I've ever heard of a Canadian committing.

Surely not?

Among others.

Very different contexts, certainly; but let's not pretend our friendly Canadian cousins can't fire a weapon when they're in the mood.

A bit more closely related.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this (and yesterday's incident in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu) is the only terror attack to occur in Canada since the October Crisis of 1970.

If this attack in Ottawa and the one in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu are anything to go by, Canadians may very well be in for a little more heartbreak in the near future

Depends on whether or not you count the Moncton shootings as a terrorist attack.

I have my doubts. Both attacks were 'lone wolf'-type operations that could have likely been planned independently of one another and just happened to coincide. Given that both attacks failed in most of the goals of terrorist acts and that CSIS is probably taking the kid gloves off for good now, I don't think we're in for a spree of copycats.

Not at all. Barely two years ago, Richard Henri Bain tried to kill newly elected PQ leader at the Metropolis.

It also happened in 1984 when Denis Lortie stormed the Assemblée nationale and tried to kill René Lévesque and all the PQ MPs. He killed three people and injured 13 other. http://www.cbc.ca/archives/categories/s ... ature.html

[Beta Test]

I wonder if there's a connection between the two attacks.

[Napkiraly]

And your basis for this is what exactly?

Their shitty reactions on previous shootings, some of which don't even take place in Canada.

Examples.

[Ainin]

Well fuck, this was really unexpected and tragic.

This will most likely start the US government into much better securing the border with Canada just like they have done with Mexico.

By that logic, due to all the shootings in the US, the Canadian Border Services Agency would now be fielding nuclear battlecruisers on Lake Erie.

To be fair, that would be awesome to have. Simply because we'd have freaking nuclear battlecruisers.

Would sure be a deterrence to illegal fishing as a by-effect

Spanish fishermen? It is thought that Basque fishermen visited the Canadian Maritimes throughout the 1400s when working the Grand Banks.

Obviously Canada still has a chip on it's shoulder in regards to Spanish cuisine, by that logic England should be surrounded by dozens of battlecruisers

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.

So I was right, the perpetrator was a Muslim and a child of an immigrant. There is no other to be a terrorist.

[Alyakia]

There is no other to be a terrorist.

what?

[Napkiraly]

There is no other to be a terrorist.

what?

I think he's claiming that the only terrorists are those who are Muslims and terrorists. Which is laughable to anyone who has a basic knowledge of the history of terrorism.

The man on Monday was not the child of an immigrant nor were the members of the FLQ.

Wasn't he also a recent convert? Not that it makes much difference? Also what country was he from if his parents are immigrants. I mean so far all I've heard is that he was a recently converted white guy.

[Avenio]

Neither was Zehaf-Bibeau;

Born in Quebec on 16 October 1982 as Michael Joseph Hall, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau grew up in Laval, just north of Montreal, and is said to have attended private schools.

The Canadian news channel CTV News named his mother as Susan Bibeau, the deputy chair of the immigration committee at the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada. CTV also reported that his stepfather, or adoptive father, is a Libyan businessman, Bulgasem Zehaf, who once owned a cafe called Café Tripoli and appears to have fought in Libya in 2011, according to the Globe and Mail . The couple divorced in 1999.

He was an average Canadian growing up whose mother happened to have married a Libyan businessman for a time. That same article also notes that he seems to have struggled with mental illness in his early 20's, perhaps precipitating his conversion to radical Islam.

Did you just say that all terrorists are muslims?



Also, I know it's a serious situation, but damn this image looks like it's from James Bond or something.

I mean it's funny him saying that since Canada is an immigrant country.

Erm, I said "child of an immigrant". If his father is an immigrant, that still makes him the child of an immigrant. Not that his father being Libyan had anything to do with him going on his rampage.

I am speaking of today, not some of events from 30+ years. I was right yet there were poster who claimed to "not jump on conclusions".
