Canadian Capital On Lock Down As A Result Of Ongoing "Terrorist" Shooting Incident - Live Webcast
RCMP Press Conference at 2pmET:
Live Feed here via FOX News
The Ottawa Police Service and Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) responded to reports of shooting incidents this morning in the downtown area. Police can now confirm that incidents occurred at the National War Memorial and on Parliament Hill.
Contrary to earlier reports no incident occurred near the Rideau Centre.
One shooting victim succumbed to injuries. He was a member of the Canadian Forces. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved ones.
Next of kin notification is underway and as such, the victim’s identification will not be released.
One male suspect has also been confirmed deceased. There is no further update on injuries at this time.
This is an ongoing joint police operation and there is no one in custody at this time.
Ottawa residents are asked to stay away from the downtown area while the investigation continues. If you work in one of the downtown buildings, follow the instructions from the building management you are in.
A number of RCMP and Federal government buildings are also closed to the public; as is Ottawa City Hall and all Ottawa Police stations.
UPDATE: Sadly the soldier who was shot at the War Memorial has died.

UPDATE: Ottawa Police Confirm at least 3 Separate Shooting Sites and Multiple Suspects
At least two people are injured, including a soldier, after shots were fired in the Parliamentary precinct in Ottawa on Wednesday morning; one shooter is dead and police suspect as many as two others are on the loose.
A dark-clothed gunman fired the shots just before 10 a.m. at the Canadian War Memorial, where a uniformed soldier was shot. The gunman then fled for Parliament Hill, where he unleashed more gunfire inside Centre Block. A security guard was injured before the sergeant-at-arms shot the suspect dead, according to multiple reports.
Ottawa Police said there was also an incident near the Rideau Centre, a large mall metres from Parliament Hill.

As Glenn Greenwald remarked after the attacks on Monday, the right-wing Canadian government wasted no time in seizing on the incident to promote its fear-mongering agenda over terrorism, which includes pending legislation to vest its intelligence agency, CSIS, with more spying and secrecy powers in the name of fighting ISIS.

As Glenn Greenwald remarked (regardin Monday's attack):
The right-wing Canadian government wasted no time in seizing on the incident to promote its fear-mongering agenda over terrorism, which includes pending legislation to vest its intelligence agency, CSIS, with more spying and secrecy powers in the name of fighting ISIS. A government spokesperson asserted “clear indications” that the driver “had become radicalized.”
In a “clearly prearranged exchange,” a conservative MP, during parliamentary “question time,” asked Prime Minister Stephen Harper (pictured above) whether this was considered a “terrorist attack”; in reply, the Prime Minister gravely opined that the incident was “obviously extremely troubling.” Canada’s Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney pronounced the incident “clearly linked to terrorist ideology,” while newspapers predictably followed suit, calling it a “suspected terrorist attack” and “homegrown terrorism.” CSIS spokesperson Tahera Mufti said “the event was the violent expression of an extremist ideology promoted by terrorist groups with global followings” and added: “That something like this would happen in a peaceable Canadian community like Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu shows the long reach of these ideologies.”
In sum, the national mood and discourse in Canada is virtually identical to what prevails in every western country whenever an incident like this happens: shock and bewilderment that someone would want to bring violence to such a good and innocent country (“a peaceable Canadian community like Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu”), followed by claims that the incident shows how primitive and savage is the “terrorist ideology” of extremist Muslims, followed by rage and demand for still more actions of militarism and freedom-deprivation.

The Canadian Dollar is surging against the dollar...

Glenn Greenwald updates his previous comments about Monday's attack...
Multiple conservative commentators have claimed that this article and my subsequent discussion of it are about this morning’s shooting of a solider in Ottawa. Aside from the fact that what I wrote is expressly about a completely different incident – one that took place in Quebec on Monday – this article and my comments were published before this morning’s shooting spree was reported. So unless someone believes I possess powers of clairvoyance, the claim that I was commenting on the Ottawa shooting – about which virtually nothing is known, including the identity and motive of the shooter(s) – is obviously false.
Then there’s also the extremely predictable accusation that I was justifying the attack on the soldiers. I know from prior experience in making these arguments that no matter how clear you make it that you are writing about causation and not justification, many will still distort what you write to claim you’ve justified the attack. That’s true even if one makes as clear as the English language permits that you’re not writing about justification: “The issue here is not justification (very few people would view attacks on soldiers in a shopping mall parking lot to be justified). The issue is causation.” If there’s a way to make that any clearer, please let me know.
One more time: the difference between “causation” and “justification” is so obvious that it should require no explanation. If one observes that someone who smokes four packs of cigarettes a day can expect to develop emphysema, that’s an observation about causation, not a celebration of the person’s illness. Only a willful desire to distort, or some deep confusion, can account for a failure to process this most basic point.

Patriot Act 2.0 coming up
The Canadian Dollar is surging against the dollar...
Canada is safe to invest now or does it mean its also safely under control?
Today is the Canadian Governments lucky day, since they needed a so called terrorist act to push through more legislation taking away Canadians constitutional rights.
Of course many more Canadians have died from death by Cop, versus death by terrorists, but whose counting?
Texting my sister who lives there, she said entire city is on lockdown. "Facepalm"
How sad
She's scared......well they did their job of fear mongering.

Thank goodness Canada has much stricter gun ownership laws. With all that combat gear on, the troops, err law enforcement, don't have to discern between good guys and bad guys. Anyone with a gun must be bad.
I'm just waiting for the Canadian government to somehow blame this on Putin.
BTW Canadians are even more cowardly and sheeple like than the dumbest Americans. Just watch how they applaud the loss of even more rights, LOL.
Where are the dancing, poutine eating, French speaking Israelis?
It's kinda interesting that whenever a full retard .gov needs a good distraction, TERRISTS ATTACK.
My sister says there was another shooting at the nearby mall..........
Rideau Centre - That's a nice trek from the parliament.

Thanks for the heads up.
Makes one wonder why we need a surveillance State in the first place.
Oh, I forgot. Track all the money.
Well at least that explains the debt and deficit. "Paranoia self destroyer."
More ammo for the Bullish Canadian housing market....they will be harboring terrorist cells and even terrorists have to live somewhere.
Isn't Washington DC Canada's capital?
Im watching the fuckin video clips on TV just now and it looks more like the guards/troops are doing a drill than the real thing...they are like running around into positions, looking everywhere....it just doesnt seem real to me OR these are the Canadian troops, they are used to being practice targets for other nation's troops.
Any minute now they will find their Russian passports.
This is why I carry every damned day...
I BET THE SHOOTERS ARE MOOSELIMS FROM DETROIT TOO!
More like Scary, Indiana would appear.
Wide open borders (EZ immigration policy) plus encouragment by Canada RE assoc and Gubmint officials has lead to an explosion of immigrants to Looney Land. Not all of them peaceful or want to "assimilate."
Need to find out if they were conducting any "drills" similar to what occurred any time recently. #BostonBombing
O canada , mah home and native multiculturism shithole
This appears to fit the pattern of other 'DRILLS.' It takes ERT members more than a couple minutes to gather from different sections, gear up and reach the scene ordinarily.
Wait for word of psychotropic medication and military connection...
Lest we forget:
The 'Toronto 18' Terrorism Case
Come trial, investigators will testify that the alleged plot might have succeeded, if not for the heroic efforts of an anonymous civilian, who - after negotiating a $4.1-million payday from the Mounties - helped set up a sting operation involving fake ammonium nitrate, the same explosive fertilizer Timothy McVeigh used in the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. When the delivery truck arrived, the cops moved in. And the informant vanished into the witness protection program.

What is with you and the word "Listen"? Are you some kind of bot or something?
Jeez, poor old Ottawa.
Nice trek?
What are you obese?
It's about 200 metres.
Fuck off, I'll speak for those of us disabled with a BMI of 42, BP of 180/105 and love to take the OC transpo from Parlimant to Harry Rosen for a little afternoon shopping.
Calling Channing Tatum!!!!!! Democracy needs your help.
I disagree actually.
Complacent yes. But Charter of Rights survives and the Supreme Court rules in Charter favour consistently.
Just announced that all Canadian Forces Bases are on alert. Targeting the military here.
I know this is a developing story, but with reports of multiple gunmen and multiple dozens of shots being fired and only one person hit by the gunmen, that seems a little strange? My facts may be off, but that would be really odd that multiple gunmen fire dozens of shots and could only manage to hit one person?
Sorry to be so sceptical, but after WTC 7 demolition and no planes at Shanksville or the Pentagon, I'm a little jaded.
Er, some of the "dozens of shots" reported may have been directed from police at the gunmen.
So you mean the cops haven't shot any bystanders? How unprofessional...
The biggest casualty on parliamnent Hill remains the Canadian taxpayer.
I'm your father, Luke. Give in to the dark side of the force, you knob.
Shields up.
We'll see what happens in Europe next.
It isn't like they are NYC cops...
most probably, attacker will die after signing pre-written statement.
Typically it takes 19 shots to hit 1 target once. Canadian cops are not as experienced at shooting people as US cops.
Yes thumbs up to Ron Paul once again, Here Haper had made an alliance with the US. and we sent fighter jets to bomb ISIS how is that playing out so far.
Congrats Harper mabe you should send more bombers, oh wait you might need them to stay here to strategically bomb isis within Canada.
Lockdown?
Gee, in my city there are 2-3 murders a night! This does not even include all the asaults, car-jackings, rapes, muggings, domestic violence and general nastiness.
and that's just the Cops.
The war you are experiencing is the war on Poverty. 11 trillion dollars and counting. The Canadians are experiencing the wrath of young men on Islam, raised in pornistan. Like the 911 hijackers, they will prove out to have been radicalized in namby pamby welfare state liberal utopias.
I've heard Canadians refer to Montreal as "Little Islamabad."
So WTF is all the Canadian bashing going on here? I love Canada, I go up there whenever I can, Beer drinking, hockey playing, fishing and hunting, no bullshit culture (at least that's my experience with Canadians from the midwest to the west coast of Canada, dont know much of what going on in the East)
But still, dont tell me all the Neo Globalist, Corporate Flag Waving, Police State apologist, pretending to be real libertarians, (from any Country BTW) are out in full this morning on ZH!
Its like you fuckers hear of gunshots and you scream "SQUIREL" and piss all over yourself with excitement!
Hold your fire. It's only a squirel.
He's got something in his hands!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Erzj1FdJc0I
Military?
This is an attack on the Government itself moron.
To be sure...the military is part of that. But these are called "leaders" and the command authority.
This is no false flag. Does require a THOROUGH investigation however.
We'll see if we get the Clouseau treatment yet again...
Listen vet.
This would "NEVER" happen in 'merica. You guy's got the "TROOPS"! Whoooyah! or whatever.
JTF2 is all over the place in Ottawa lol.
That's what you should be worried about. Stop the sensitivity bullshit.
Ananonymous- did you get tired of pooping all over china and decide to move to chindia or just change your name? Do you forget what has already happened in India? Or maybe you were still in china at the time?
Listen Bangawhore,
You are an moron.
I wish i would agree with you here. But some are big coward. The radio host this morning (before this even actualy happened, he was referencing the event that happened some days around the montreal area) literaly said that he is willing to sacrifice is freedom for more security. What a pussy!
Edit: Oh, and anyone who disagreed with him was labeled as a ISIS suporter. Nothing less. Because you know, the world is black and white or something..
If they had better gun control this would never have happened.
Guarantee you you'll hear this mantra before the sun sets today. Somebody should ask the NSA why they didn't prevent this. After all, they gotta spy on the world to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen.
Fuck we are, idiot, you obviously don't know many of us Canadians. Laid-back, yes, but cowardly? Say that to the average Canadian, you'd have a hockey stick rammed up your fucking ass.
Again...THOROUGH investigation.
Easy Justin, no need to get violent. There is a concert schedule to keep.
Back on topic, I have known many Canadians. Very laid back and easy going people. Fun to be around. Especially Frank, who we voted as "The most interesting man in the world." Old hockey player who got a cameo in Slapshot.

Canadians are a bunch of welfare queens. Hockey schmocky!

Hey Bangalore numb nuts.................... believe it or not, just like America there are still a few of us up here (producers) that contribute much more than we receive back.
Lets not over generalize here.
Bangalore seems to be a troll -- a peculiar one, but a troll nonetheless. Look at the amount of time he spends on here.
We know better. The boss' kid played hockey in Canada and said they were the toughest basterds he ever threw his gloves off with, and he didn't get the nickname the Wrecker for being a pussy.
Whatever Martinski. The good sheeple canuckstanians will happily give up their rights. Look at how easily canadians were disarmed by similar fear tactics. Read your history.
I must say, however, I do like the quebec girls. When I lived in upstate NY, they would cross the border to party. Put a few drinks in them and they will do anything with anyone, anytime. The east coast girls, on the other hand, were fat, ugly, stupid and entitled.
@Latina Lover: "BTW Canadians are even more cowardly and sheeple like than the dumbest Americans."
Don't forget that Canadians are raised to "Be Nice". I.e. "Be nice little colonials". And that they are: They freed themselves from British colonialism, to promptly join American colonialism.
A Canadian is basically a more polite, perhaps better educated but less armed version of an American. In terms of tastes and lifestyles they are virtually indistinguishable, even though some have described them as "Better Americans": Where Americans tend to be loud when abroad, Canucks tend to be more quiet and low key when abroad.
Canadians pride themselves (rightfully so) that they SO much more informed than Americans. True. But... by the same token, they are far less libertarian than Americans, and tend to be either Left Wingers (socialists, feminists or environmentalists), or Right Wingers (Neocon, under the label of PC - Progressive Conservative). The NDP (New Democratic Party = hijacked Unionists) are no alternative either, since they've become a compromised Controlled Opposition, ever since Ed Broadbent left.
Canada does not lead in the Geopolitics. As a "comfortable middle-power", they follow: They take their cues from their Masters in Washington, NY, London and Tel Aviv. Pretenses to the contrary, are just that: Pretenses, for Public Consumption. And, as a mostly "Branch-plant economy of the US", every time their PM gets "uppity" in their economic or political independence of DC or NY, they get whacked economically -- which causes the PM/politician to lose and election. This "tradition" goes back many decades. Same as it ever was: a well-to-do COLONY.
If I am not mistaken, about 100,000 Loyalists fled the US colonies for Canada during and at the conclusion of the Revolutionary War.
Thank you Kirk for the quickie collective canuck character caricature. Personally, I find manycanadians to be dull, mindless collectivists, 2nd rate gray versions of people of walmart shopping drones. Their politeness is a mask for their hypocrisy, their holier than thou attitude. They deserve their slavery.
Canadians get to watch uncesored English Al Jezeera. That makes them dangerous and puts all kinds of strange thoughts in their mind, almost like they're terrorists! Or even worse, like they're Palistinians! Canadians are therefore quite dangerous and should all have tracking collar devices for easier monitoring.
The U.S. has the good sense to censor subversive anti-semetic propaganda like English Al Jezeera. We're only allowed to see the proper, sanitized version: Amercian Al Jezeera. That's why we don't have tracking collars.
Notice that Canadians are supposedly Americans, yet refuse to watch the official 'properly sanitized' American Al Jezeera. See? Damn suspicious if you ask me. What the hell are you Canadians up too?
First, Ed Broadbent was a sell out from the get go and he is UofT alumnus
Ivory Tower neo-fucking-Liberal. Broadbent is not benevolent and sold out completely when he caved to Brian Mulroney back in the 80s. Broadbent is a typical gutless socialist wannabe without credit in political life. His credentials are few and he is a textbook 1%er that believes it is better to take than to receive. He swims the backstroke in the public trough and he has done so all of his life. In brief, Ed Broadbent is a political parasite and nothing more. Lastly, I am a card carrying Progesssive Conservative Party
member. I am not a card carrying member of the Federal 'Conservative Party of CANADA'. The real neocons are the 'Conservative Party of CANADA' and _NOT_ the Ontario Provincial Progressive Conservative Party or our membership. We are presently attempting to distance ourselves from the perceived 'right-wing' neocons in the Conservative Party of CANADA. Neo-liberalism no longer works for provincial or municipal politics in Ontario. The Federal Conservative Party of CANADA is about to lose office due to the Federal Liberal efforts to replace Harper with Justin Trudeau [progeny of nepotism and Bill 101] and the Conservative Party base is not found within my party in Ontario. Harper has lost his base all over CANADA due to his totalitarianism and top down hegemony over Parliament. I am a red tory which is not 'right wing' by any means whatsoever. I do agree with everything else you stated.
OMG......all 4 planes ????????
Will the workplace violence never end?
13 centuries in, the betting is not anytime soon.
Time to give out a Nobel Peace Prize
Guns don't kill people, War Memorials do.
Obola declared it another example of "Workplace violence".
It's not the entire city its only the immediate vicinity. My daughter is working across the street and she is on lockdown. She is scared but feels safe.
I'm curious to know just how far left one has to be in order to consider the Canadian government to be 'right wing'.
The answer is not very. I can only speak for myself as being Right leaning. Harper's neocons are far more right wing than I am, or what I perceive the US Repubs are.
enemy of the state? wesly snipes.
They must have a good production team.
Canadians may not be interested in jihad, but jihad is interested in them.
Forward (over the cliff)!
Listen.
ISIL is nice group. Might as well think about joining else they will think you are part of America and lop your head off!
Multiple shooters who had the element of surprise only managed to injure two people??

Canada has no Constitutional rights, the "Canadian Constitution" replaced the British North America Act. It was written by the Liberal party and is toothless, the government can do what they want. This incident which is likely done by Muslims will no doubt bring out the gun grabbing lunatics in full force, demanding that inanimate objects banned but Muslim immigration and appeasing be untouched.
@Alvin 4 misinformed:
http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1356631760121/1356631904950#Contents
Canadian Charter of Rights. Which, unlike the US Constitiution has yet to be dismantled at will by Supreme Court of POTUS order:
Note something that is listed here and compare to what the US has submitted to:
http://www.pch.gc.ca/eng/1356636395105/1356636488152 Section on Legal Rights: (and this is just a snippet)
Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person, and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.
Sections 7 to 14 set out rights that protect us in our dealings with the justice system. They ensure that individuals who are involved in legal proceedings are treated fairly, especially those charged with a criminal offence.
Section 7 guarantees the life, liberty and personal security of all Canadians. It also demands that governments respect the basic principles of justice whenever it intrudes on those rights. Section 7 often comes into play in criminal matters because an accused person clearly faces the risk that, if convicted, his or her liberty will be lost.
As an example of the effect of Section 7, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that individuals may not be sent to prison unless there is some proof that they did something wrong. To imprison a person who has acted reasonably would offend the principles of fundamental justice.
Section 8
Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.
Everyone has the right not to be arbitrarily detained or imprisoned.
Everyone has the right on arrest or detention
Any person charged with an offence has the right
Next piece of legislation banning all guns in Canada coming soon
If you follow anything in Canada at all, our gun laws are being reduced by the conservative government. They got rid of the ridiculous long gun registry implemented by the liberals.
Also it is now easier to acquire a restricted gun Licence which allows you to own handguns. Most people I know have multiple guns and know how to use them.
We may be laid back but I think cowardly is a poor description. Also, we do not have a fucking NSA listening to all our calls and monitoring our internet full time. Plus I'm pretty sure there is no list with 1/3 of our citizens on it so maybe don't throw stones from your glass house regarding personal liberties.
Our NSA is listening to you nevertheless. With all that muzzie immigration and multi-culti uber tolerance you guys have up there, plus welfare to support them, I'm glad the NSA is doing the job your government won't take responsibility for.
I agree with you about the immigration of Muslims and other third world imports who are not accepting Canadian values and are a burden on our system. However, having your government spy on us doesn't make me feel a whole lot safer.
Also, our prime minister also has the balls to call the incident the other day a terrorist attack. Unlike that Muslim appeaser in the white house.
Not 'appeaser' actually. That's too weak. It's more aids and gives comfort to....anyone who's against the west.
Quite right about the leftists in our country stealing our rights. This is what the left always, always leads to - loss of freedoms and rights - for your own good of course.
The NSA is watching you as you type on ZH and listens to your phone calls and records your email, they have and respect no borders.
Listen.
No wonder Canadian mayor drank heavy and smoked crack.
OH!
Listen.
No.
LL sadly I can only give you 1 up vote.
so you are saying the facts indeed support Islam being the religion of peace?
The Bank of Canada news is what sent the CAD surging.
All 10 am Eastern time - here is the news:
BOC Monetary Policy Report
BOC Rate Statement
Overnight Rate
And in 30 minutes Bank of Canada Press Conference.
Did anyone check on the Swiss gold stored in Ottawa?
Eh, sorry Swiss people, your gold disappeared during the lockdown . Too bad. We'll send some CAD instead and a few containers of Molson.
Martin Couture-Rouleau, a 25-year-old Canadian who, as The Globe and Mail reported, "converted to Islam recently and called himself Ahmad Rouleau."
Maybe he just did not like hockey, eh?
yes I agree I love how you use the word DEMOCRACY so FREELY! :-)
I am suprised the market is not down more...... these guys think, we will rally hard into xmas => http://bit.ly/1fMcakI
I guess we have to wait for this Terrorist stuff to slow down first, finally after months of Boredom, the NEWS CREWS, and ILLIGITAMATE LOVE CHILD anchormen and women, finally have something to talk about, other than the normal fucking boring shit on TV. Who would have THUNK!?
Interesting...there is no blood on the ground.
Simulacra...Simulacrum....
Kitty Kitty Bang Bang....
I have to agree with you here ORI. Something smells. Gov't needs to pass a rights restricting bill, "terrorist action" happens. Are people getting pissed off with the government? Yes but I don't know about shooting a random soldier. If this guy got into parliament to do harm, why would he/she warn everyone by shooting a low ranking soldier first?
Smells of false flag. Maybe not by the Canadian govenrment (though I suspect some involvement somewhere) but by someone who wants that bill to pass.
Anyway, all we can be sure of is that the story coming from the MSM will be mostly (or completely) bullshit.
*edit*
Right before Remembrance Day too. Think of the propaganda opportunities here.
Anyone see those guys in Khakis and black baseball caps like the dozen or so that were all around the Boston Marathon finish line? You'll see them standing around looking at their phones, not helping anyone.
because everything is automatically a false flag attack, always. its never an actual crazy person acting out. never.
right.
Paddle your bullshit elsewhere. After 9/11 we're switched to media based events. For further details check aurora shooting, sandy hook, boston bombing, isis be-headings, military bases shootings, 7/11 London. Back in the 1st gulf war times there were the infants left out to die on the COOOOLD floor and the "live CNN" reporting from Kuwait, errm, make that US. Even some of the recent Ebola transfers footage are fishy as fuck not to mention the irregular pattern of ppl either making a speedy recovery (sans a cure mind you) while other drop dead like clockwork.
Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see for yourself(assuming you're not a gov troll).
Hmmm, murder and mayhem at a such a convenient moment to distract from the rumors of China /Fed takeover - City of London partial capitulation - PM price revaluing, etc, etc.
Head count the CIA, oh definitely.
Where is the Mexican guy with the cowboy hat? Shouldn't he be holding the artery?

...First Africa, now Canada....USSA's next step in taking over its neighbour to the North for all its Natural Resources.
Easily predictable folks.
Not so sure about that.
Another option is that we are starting to see the beginnings of the Muslim Holy War, one little peice at a time. Aided and abetted by none other thatn POTUS.
Beginnings of WWIII? Banksters licking their lips?
Toss in the fear mongering by the TPTB and freedom and liberty get flushed down the sewer. Way too many cross currents to figure this thing out.
Once upon a time I thought the Preppers were nut jobs. Now I am not so sure.........
But hey, the Fed will continue to levitate the assets so go forth and get ya sum.
"Muslim Holy War" - you and y3maxx could both be right. The mooslims are (allowed to) do their thing, and it makes a darned convenient ongoing cover for the 'waah on terraah', with all its implications on tamping down individual liberties and keeping defense spending high for all TPTB's buddies in the MIC.
Canada sold out to the US generations ago. Now that you are no longer interested in strip mining our assets, the government is selling what is left to the Chinese.
No way... didn't you hear... it's a religion of peace. As the car driver's good friend said (from Saudi Arabia) yesterday, "there is no such thing as an extrememist muslim. Either you are muslim or not."
Was losing son in custody dispute
Have to admit, that would never happen under Sharia law. The ex-wife would be stoned to death. Every system has its good points.
That was the other clown. Can't speak to the current crop of attackers.
Appears to be a "prearranged team effort."
There is no stoning under Shariah Law.
I know, no beheadings or clitectomies either...religion of peace.
Where is General Akbar?
The admiral has arrived & has some sage words of wisdom: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4F4qzPbcFiA
Admiral. My bad.
Is it Akhbar?

I know, no beheadings or clitectomies either...religion of peace.
You seem like quite an articulate and reasonable guy.
Maybe you can quote from the Shariah Law (Quran) where it states Stoning, beheading and clitectomies?
Possibly right next to where it says 72 virgins for martyrs perhaps?

Odd to say much more multi cultural
in Canada
Than in USA
But true.
We have serious race issues in USA (I shwould be one to talk right?)
But most Americans are simply that
Americans.
TRUE!! I've heard this native Indian guy say they don't want to leave his land!
That's only been going on for 400 years.
one way to tell how well they integrate is to look at local minor hockey teams' demographics
growing up we had 3 hockey associations/clubs in my part of the city - which has been over run by indians & muslims
now there's only 1 hockey association for that entire part of the city.
We need to expel them all.
If this is being done for anyother reason than to protest the Candadian government alowing the invasion of Canada by Chinese Communits they're pissed about the wrong thing. Not sayinfg this is the way to reclaim an occupied government, but I understand the idea.
You're probably not old enough to have heard "I want the Germans to leave our land".
Once or twice, even?
That would make me at least 100 years old, so no :)
But I do remember a anecdote about the Napoleon wars...
Did you know there where Belgiam troops present at the Mexican American wars? Without us you would all be speaking Spanish....
okay...
Eventually you fucked that one up by yourself, but there was a time when English was the main spoken langues in America! All thanks to Belgian troops!
New York appreciates your mighty King Leopold II but feels a great sadness for the chi!dren.
She still believed her Maximilian was alive all those years...
God sent you Belgians Leon Degrelle, and you persecuted him.
It's truly such a pity the French were thrown out of Mexico.
Ah,
They're still grumpy because they lost to the white guys.
Get over it and cash your Govt. check.
True enough. Our 'multi-culturalism' policy, brought on by idiot politicians courting immigrant votes, encourages newcomers to Canada to remain more attached to their old ways than to Canadian ways. The current government is trying to change that, to howls of dismay from the lefties.
Apparently some gunfire too now.
I live here and I think it works as well as it can, yeah I agree its not perfect. Do we want to end up like Japan, totally inbred and old?
On the first glance with little info, this appears to be a reaction to our foreign policy, not our multicultural policy.
I don't think it's an "either-or" choice (ending up like Japan). I'm all for immigration, but the people coming here have to realize they are going to be Canadian, not transplanted Pakis or Chinese or Somalis. Like the woman who wants to take the citizenship oath while wearing her Muslim bodybag. Fuck her - go back to where you came from. My ex-wife came to Canada from the Philippines, and she always said she's raising our kids to be Canadian (which they are!). The Americans are big on the 'melting pot'; an old girlfriend from Ohio has Polish parents. I asked her once if she considers herself "Polish American". She got angry and told me she was AMERICAN, no hyphen needed. She's proud of her Polish heritage, and she makes a mean perogie, but she's an American (course, this was back in the 70's when America was still somewhat the land of the free). I'm sick to death of reading about "Indo-Canadians" or "Somali-Canadians". You're either Canadian or not, IMHO, and if you don't want to commit to this country and its social norms, don't let the door hit you.
The politicians do as they are told, in the case of immigration, it was a tool to lower worker's wages so the moneyed elite would profit.
Don't give politicians more credit than they deserve, they are talking heads who can read teleprompters controlled by the ruling elite.
Nothing "right wing" about the canuk government at all. "Progressive assclown" is more like it.
