Increased security around transit and the skytrain, and LEO's are on alert. Ottawa is a long way away from Vancouver, but still close enough that people are thinking about it.

RIP to the poor guy.
:(

I didn't notice any of that when I was on my way to work using the skytrain but then I was half asleep

God damn Canada Line

man, this is pretty scary stuff. Was listening to CBC this morning and couldn't believe it. Feels very close to home. RIP to the solider that died. A damn shame.

-hope the RCMP catch those shooters ASAP. :heckno: They're gonna pay for what they did to that soldier.

The guy killed Somone and maybe others and caused mad terror for people, gotta always laugh when people go "oh they're gonna get him good"

Nah, this guy got everyone good.

Leafs/Sens game postponed because of this.

Gunman killed in Parliament attack named as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, a Canadian born in 1982, American media report claims

Nobody gives a shit about a stupid game right after an event like this...


RIP to the soldier who lost his life today. Condolences to all the families involved in this tragedy.

Not sure what you mean by this but I'd rather our media outlets downplay stuff than like the outlets in the US that just pump fear into the citizens.

There's nothing the average citizen can do about whatever's going on, except for having faith in CSIS and other government agencies

From my Twitter feed: "sources tell Globe and Mail that he [shooter] was recently designated “high-risk traveler” and government seized his passport."

The man who hit the soldier with his vehicle in Quebec also had his passport seized.

Not too familiar with the policy side of things, but interested in knowing what led government to make the decision to seize passports. Are they increasing the risk of things happening inside our borders?

How would a policy look if they let them leave and didn't let them back into the country?

Most of them who are on the radar these days are ones they've identified as risks to go join ISIS etc

It's an important part of being Canadian; there is a sense of trust which exists between people.

Being able to walk into the House or a Legislature and sit in the gallery without having to go though a naked body scanner while being watched by paramilitary police force covered in body armour carrying a rifle brings a sense of trust.
By changing this, we succumb to fear. Any changes to normal security procedure by locking doors in the House or giving shotguns to police on normal patrols is purely reactionary.

But what about The October Crisis?
Pierre "Just Watch Me" Trudeau's provisions fell out of force and life returned to normal after the FLQ were sorted. If such a high level of security remained around all MPs and it became an accepted norm in Canadian society; we would have a very different feeling in Canada from then until today.

That is to prevent them from leaving Canada to join ISIS/ISIL/NameOfTheDay in the ground war in the middle east.

Can't pull their citizenship (let them leave but not return) because that creates a stateless person.

ISIS claims this is the shooter:

Fits the description...

I think you said that a few times in that thread....


K now what? :pokerface:

Vancouver link;

It's disgusting to hear about these cowardly individuals shooting an innocent man who was just doing this job. :mad:

The U.S, Canada, and its allies need to step up their plans to get ride of these scumbags. -hearing that Obama doesn't want troops on the ground to take these guys out. Bombing raids by fighter jets won't be effective against ISIS. They need to use soldiers, special forces personnel to fuck them up real good.

Canada is not intimidated by this incident. I know some people overseas who think Canada is a "peace loving country, with nice, polite people". They think our country can be pushed around.

Fuck that! Although I do not support PM Harper and his party, I echo his sentiments about today's attack on Parliament. Our country will not be intimidated.

looks like ISIS are giving the west more desire to wipe the middle east off the map...

Utilitarianism; noun: destroy the entire middle east.

Sharing news related to the story - an NHL game being postponed, earns fails, interesting. Guess everyone handles an event like this differently. He's more to fail then: An NHL team (Leafs) were told to stay away from their hotel windows during an ongoing situation due to their proximity. Also sharing that the at the start of the Flyers/Pens game, they sang O'Canada to show solidarity.

You seriously can't be that daft.

Do you know what "inappropriate" means?
