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? :D

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.

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.

Can't argue with success
 
Lawn Jockeys and Garden Gnomes have done their jobs rather handily, I would say. I'm planning to place them strategically around the perimeter our fortified compound.

I stand corrected.

If he was preaching hatred towards Canada, why the f**k didn't he just leave? I grew up in Germany, didn't like the place so I left. I didn't try to bomb the country into submission. People like this just p*ss me off. Sorry for the rant.

it worked on US too, we've changed quite a bit...

I liked how one of the fathers of a terrorist tried to blame it on the government saying that the government is just making this all up to get people against Islam (or something of that nature).

One of the terrorists was winking at his family today in court and his family started to wave back to him - ****ing scum, they don't deserve to live here.

Now watch and see the hate crimes against visible minorities (not just Muslims, but also Hindu's, Sikhs, etc) will rise due to ignorance by the general public.

If they don't like Canada then pack up your ****ing **** and get the **** out. I heard life in Pakistan is far better than here anyways :wacko: They even allow you to burn down KFC restaurants and Ronald McDonald :D
