8. This is what Harper brought to Canada with his policy of aggression instead of our tradition of using our military for peacekeeping. Its on him, he brought this crap here.
As this is still happening, the talking heads are already talking about Canadians will have to get used to our civil liberties being taken away.
Of course, Harper the coward bully is hiding and hasn't said a word about it.

24. I deleted my last post I'm going out of town and won't be around a computer for a couple of days, and I choose not to get into it with you other than to repeat that if not for Harper's policies of aggression this would not be happening here in Canada.
running away when you are loosing an agruement is always the best of solutions.

82. True, but when will governments
be held to the same standard? When will Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Yoo, Rice, et al be held accountable for the acts of violence they ordered?
Bush et al, acted of the their own free will and volition. Most likely they did so under the impulse of of religiousity, feeling themselves acting at the command of, or to the glory of or in defense of, some deity but even that is something they chose to do, chose to believe.
Your argument, while cogent, only really works if there is symmetry. If one side is never subject to the law, you don't leave the other side much choice in how to respond.
Almost a blame BUSH.... almost...

85. No, not beside the point
Other than my example involved the U.S. government as opposed to the Canadian government.
The concept in law is called "contributory negligence".

39. How about we let the gunfire wind down...And allow the evidence to be gathered before we start collectively jerking our knees?
Only when the arguement goes against the left do they 'Want to wait for the facts"...
Who does everyone not a bleeding leftist think is doing this?

51. No clue, but
The car attack two days ago in Quebec that killed one soldier and injured another was carried out by a by a known, recently-extremized home-grown jihadi. The attack in Winnipeg was against the air wing that is helping bomb ISIS.
I'm drawing some pretty obvious conclusions.

30. These guys were our allies against the Syrian govt
now they're turning against us.
But even that benefits neocon policies.
