Parliament Hill, Ottawa - shooter inside the Parliament Buildings - unknown number of armed men in immediate area of Parliament Hill. One soldier shot at the War Memorial nearby.
Thank you Prime Minister. Bring it home. Wherever you are.

What does that have to do with the PM?

I guess dangerous whack-jobs are just limited to the United States. Let's hope they get the person quickly, and that no one is hurt.

So Canada is catching the "Southern Sickness?"

We had a nutjob soldier shoot up parliament many years ago. No, we're not immune to insanity.

Canada has been asking for it Dub.
The Prime Minister is silent and gone. He has been beating the war drums and this is the response, Rick. If I don't miss my guess it won't be the last. We have entered a new era in Canada.

Jeff - I think sleepy old Owen Sound is the last place where terrorists would feel obliged to create chaos. But thank you.

Sek:
This may seem like a totally off the wall memory which has nothing to do with the topic at hand. But when you said "Sleepy Owens Sound" it reminded me of the day we came by to visit you. I remember the big hug you gave me when we arrived.
With all the weirdness going on in parliament I sure which I could give you that big hug right back right now.

Greg. I remember your all too short visit well. Lars had a wonderful time listening to you playing.
update - the soldier who was shot at the War Memorial has died. The shooter has died. There are more shooters. The situation is still fluid.

Kate, Sorry the nut jobs are acting out in Ottawa. Seems one ran down a soldier with a car a few days ago too. I don't know about your Prime minister and the war drum. Do you think this is in response to the PM's opposition to ISIS?

Kate, I understand you have a visceral dislike for Harper. He's not my favourite person in the world either. I doubt whether the response to ISIS from Canada would be any different no matter who was in power, and I do truly believe that the opposition is taking a contrary view simply to try to make political points. I don't necessarily believe that we would be immune to nut job terrorists under circumstances, given who we are and who our allies are.

david, that and the fact that there are some 90 young people who have been under observation for some time as being sympathetic to ISIS. The Prime Minister revoked their passports recently as they seemed to be preparing to join that scum in northern Iraq in their scummy bid for power and wealth. I would have preferred to have seen them safely on their way and then revoked their citizenship.

I would have preferred to have seen them safely on their way and then revoked their citizenship. Dang, Sek, that is a great idea. Why put these characters on some impotent list that sits puzzled in a drawer somewhere? We should open a bunch of easily accessed and confidential online Isis recruitment sites. Offer a free, no questions asked, one-way ticket for any aspiring jihadi that requests one. Come up with some catchy ad campaign complete with jihadi jingles, kind of like that catchy "know your credit score" campaign the Feds ran a while back. Revoke their citizenship the moment the wheels leave the ground. |

thing is ... revoking their passports has the effect of imprisoning a bunch of jihadi children in Canada. What will they do now? Start shooting up the place, that's what. vide: today in Ottawa, the other day as well. That's two to one so far, for them.

Hmmm. Oh yeah, that. The kids.
I'm sure sorry for the trouble there.

Revoke their citizenship the moment the wheels leave the ground. Hey, wait a minute. I had the idea first - with one small step further. Get 'em all over there conveniently in one place and finish 'em all off at once |

Chesapeake! My daughter had the same idea. Give them a free airplane ticket and drop them in the ocean.
