According to his family, he wasn't religious and had to be forced to go to Mosque. Link. Here's a link that summarizes a 23-page report released by the police a year after the shooting. Mental issues documented from 1998, no connection to extreme Islam or any other extremist group, a couple of searches related to incel murderers in Toronto and California. If you don't want to accept that he was psychotic then you may have to put him under the same right-wing umbrellas as incels.

Good catch. My mom talked about watching the news about war, I assumed TV, but likely she meant those newsreels at movies. KLM started operations in 1919. International flights were available for.those who could afford it in the 1930s. US commercial airlines repurposed themselves for the war effort; Roosevelt was the first president to fly internationally in 1943. Telephone service was well established in Canada by second world war. My mother's house had a phone; she talked about phoning an aunt. Propaganda, yes, fuelled by the media of the time, using the same themes as are used against Muslims today. Eventually the public demanded a solution, along with some politicians, while others objected. But the fear mongering won out and Japanese were rounded up. Do some research on propaganda: the same themes are repeated on the way to demonizing a group. "They aren't like us"; "they're so different they threaten our culture, our way of life"; "they'll rape our women and make slaves of us", "they are invaders who we must control or eliminate." Do some research.

Cause they all are?

I don't have to do anything, especially as I've already provided links. If you are took lazy/slow to read/understand them, not really my problem. Why would I care if a random conspiritard on the internet calls me a liar?

Several accounts months after the attack described a significant history of mental health issues. You should check into that. Or stick with the conspiracy, whatever. Would I? That seems unlikely, especially if it required ignoring what investigators, family and others who actually knew him said, in favor of claiming a mass conspiracy to mislead Canadians.

Are you kidding me? When we incarcerated Japanese in WW2, there was radio, TV, international flights, and mail/newspapers "from home". The anti-Japanese rhetoric of the time revolved around Japanese being too "foreign" to integrate and be loyal to Canada, prone to raping women and so fanatic that they'd choose to die for a chance to kill Westerners. Sound familiar?

Yes, that is something that one of my links mentioned. Still doesn't excuse him does it?

And again, as has happened throughout history, over 2 to 3 generations, people take on the values of their host country. This is what numerous studies have shown as well as the history of virtually any group that has come to Canada and been vilified by Canadians already here. It's what the Environics survey showed when second generation and younger Muslims supported gay rights and gender equality more than their immigrant parents. To think that Muslims will be any different is not realistic.

Ah yes, the ever handy "Its a conspiracy so I don't have to pay attention to facts I don't like" echo chamber response.

And Islamic attacks against Weaterners has also plunged, but the usual suspects are still going on and on about the Muslim threat.

An incel running females over with a van isn't misogynistic? Is that because he was a white incel, which automatically makes him incapable of misogyny in your "White folks are superior" bubble?

Right wing fear mongering. This is the kind of rhetoric that gets innocent Muslims killed in Mosques while they pray.

Yeah, it is eh? Other groups have proven to be more deadly to Canadians than Islamists but you didn't object to those groups being called irrelevant. Why is that? Terror groups who carry out attacks or who inspire lone wolf attacks are either relevant or irrelevant. You can't object to only one being called irrelevant.

Already posted. Go read them.

Where is this thread about White Supremacists? Looks to me like it's about blaming liberals for alt-right violence resulting from anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim rhetoric engaged in by conservatives.

Toronto van attack was not an Islamic terror attack: it was some incel and, per the link I supplied previously, considered a right-wing attack. There was a vehicle attack in Edmonton, in which nobody died that was considered Islamic terror; perhaps that is the one you are thinking of. Also covered in my links. Danforth shooting was not considered a terror attack by authorities, only by conservatives who prefer conspiracy over facts. Not included in my links as either alt-right or Islamic.

But not offended by Scribblet's remark, to which I was responding, that attacks by White Supremacists are irrelevant. Why not? Why is the higher death toll of White Supremacist attack in Canada irrelevant, but not Islamic terror attacks? It's you who failed to understand the context of my remarks. If y'all weren't such hypocrites, we could have a discussion about extremism But instead you bunch scream bloody murder about "Muslims" at every opportunity, but if a white guy kills a few dozen brown folk as a direct result of your right-wing, anti-immigrant rhetoric and your all "Nothing to do with us - it's the liberals".

Canadian White Supremacist groups added to terror list. Islamic terror groups recruit through the same social media means as do White Supremacists. Either this is important or it isn't; it can't matter for Islamic extremists and also be irrelevant for right-wing extremists. I'm not interested enough in these groups to go searching through Facebook, 4chan, 8chan or other sites to prove what CSIS, the RCMP and the FBI tell us: far-right extremism, including White Supremacy, is a growing problem in Canada, the States and Europe. As per the conservative way, you can deny any wrongdoing if your "tribe" but that doesn't make the problem.go away.

There you go, blackening my character by claiming, for me things I haven't said and don't feel. Shall I respond in kind and accuse you of not caring for the surviving victims of the Mosque attack or the van attack, or the victims of Justin Borque of Moncton in 2014? Three RCMP dead, two more seriously injured. Or would you consider that unfair? Because as I posted earlier, I believe everyone here agrees that killing innocents for political reasons is wrong. I am affected personally whenever some person attacks another and it is featured on the news. Doesn't matter if the perpetrator is Muslim or "Old Stock" Canadian, or if the victims are Muslim are "Old Stock" Canadians. Muslims have been killed in world wide terror attacks in the 10s or even 100s of thousands. Is that irrelevant to you? How about the 100s of thousands more killed by Western military attacks as part of "acceptable collateral damage". Are those deaths irrelevant to you? I'm not sorry that considering innocent people killed anywhere in the world are as worthy of compassion as Canadians killed anywhere in the world offends you. I am not sorry that I condemn all violence, for any reason and by any person, offends you. Right or wrong, my opinion is that caring about everyone, not just our own "tribe" would make the world a better place.

Right wing terror according to the link I already posted. This is because it was essentially based on misogyny, which is part of alt-right lore, though it varies between groups.

Courts are taking Right-wing extremism seriously, even if many conservatives don't.

I did not find anything about two deadly attacks in Toronto, only found the ones on Parliament Hill. Can you provide a link?

He skates pretty close it seems, but I haven't read the article yet. He sure seems to miss the point too often, making it harder to even think about supporting Liberals in October. Might have to go NDP.

"Any number" = Six. Every news story about a white person verbally or physically attacking a Muslim, Jew, South Asian, brown or black person. White Supremacy gone mainstream, thanks to constant barrage of BS from alt-right sources, making people feel justified in harassing people who "look" different. In terms of deadliness, since 2014, 19 people have died as a result of right-wing terror attacks in Canada. (Link) in the same period, two people have died as a result of Islamic terror attacks. (Link)

They're already here, even if they don't recognize themselves. And their ranks are growing, rationalized by statements like "if only there weren't so many brown people in the country, white people wouldn't be so upset! It's the liberals fault that white people are turning to violence!" Kinda like what you've done here.
