Good job Canada and the lead came from internet monitoring ,
so I guess the Lawn Jockeys and Garden Gnomes are looking for new work.

Why would they want to bomb Canada, a country that has loudly opposed the US approach to Islamic militants?

Don't they know if we leave terrorists alone and do as they demand, they will leave us alone?

Yeah, it was all over the paper this morning/yesterday.

I was also somewhat surprised to see an article in one of our papers that called the whole issue one of the country's biggest white elephants - the fact that all 17 suspects are muslims and this fact should be plainly stated by the police/politicians. The police didn't say as much in their statements, being uber-politically correct, but I'm surprised and somewhat pleased that the paper ran the article, essentially saying let's call it like it is - all 17 suspects were muslim radicals.

Not sure why they'd want to bomb us? Maybe they want control of the Tim Horton's franchise?

Canada is full of Muslim extremists... especially Toronto. The problem with Canada is the country doesn't have a strong sense of nationalism, allowing for new immigrants to comfortably keep their views and values.

Hopefully that will change, provided our new government survives its first term, and picks up some steam for its next. Meanwhile, it would appear that the RCMP and CSIS are on their toes, at least for this big home run they were.

The levity is good, Zeus, but for the benefit our American neighbours, the simple fact of the matter seems to be that we [Canada] have become a training ground for these Muslim extremists, and by planning to terroise us, are probably just sending another warning to the US goverment - their principal target.

Our Canadian troops - 2000 of them - fulfilled their two year commitment to NATO, but our stupid Prime Minister Harper's ( George W's. buddy!) majority Conserative parliament recently rammed in another two year extension for NATO in Kandahar.

There isn't a nation in the world, which after a reasonable occupation by foreign troops that would not rebel against them - my native country Ireland, is a prime example of what I'm referring to, even 84 years after we lost six of our counties in the 1922 partition that created what is called Northern Ireland, and after 800 years of British domination.

That's the way I see it, anyway.

84 years, hell. It's been at least since Elizabeth I appointed that nitwit as governor. Of course, the Irish could've defeated the English back then if they hadn't betrayed each other all over their island.

Not sure what that has to do with Canada, really.

Hahaha....

Tim Horton's is alright... but I prefer Starbucks.

Hehe, me too. Vitamin T is the poison of choice when we're touring (especially when you're driving the van at 3 a.m. through freezing rain and the drummer is blasting another prog rock CD, must be a drummer thing? ), but for enjoyment, I sure do prefer Starbucks (clique image and trendiness aside).

As to the Canada/muslim/terrorist thing, I'd glad we nailed the idiots, and hope our guard stays up while at the same time, I hope we don't lose any of the freedoms we hold dear (and which our forefathers fought and died for).

Are you on crack? Oh, wait a minute, crack is the stuff they put in the Tim Horton's up there... that's why I like it so much! Nevermind....

Actually, that isn't completely true. We're currently fighting (and dying) in the war against Islamic militants in Afghanistan. We have over 2000 troops on the ground at Kandahar, which is more or less the equivalent of the Wild West in Afghanistan. Kabul, by contrast, is "relatively" under control. We're not here peacekeeping, we're hunting down and killing militants and insurgents. We're involved here because there was a direct connection to the militants responsible for 9/11. We've been there since day one, and we've committed militarily for the next two years at least.

Our government hasn't bought into everything, and I'm not even going to begin debating the war in Iraq or any of the other controversial issues. Everyone is entrenched in their positions and I don't think meaningful debate is even possible any more, regardless of what side of the issue you fall on. But I do have some difficulty reading that we're loudly opposed to the war on Islamic militancy when our servicemen and women are coming home in flag-draped coffins at the hands of the same militants. But this is the answer to "why Canada?" Its because we're involved.

I stand corrected.

Because Canadians are also Infidels, eh?

Infidel hosers, eh.
