I'm shocked! Shocked! It seems they were.... Muslims! I can hardly believe it! Would anyone else have suspected that!?
BTW, there is a stupid cow (Rosemary Thompson) on CTV now suggesting that our role in Afghanistan might be responsible for provoking such a thing, as well as our closeness to George Bush. Yet this group first caught the attention of CSIS two years ago, and apparently whatever they were doing and saying was enough to provoke continuous surveillance since then.
What should be especially noteworthy, though it does not surprise me, is that although many are immigrants, as one would expected, a number of them are "home grown" terrorists. They were raised here in Canada. That did nothing to dissuade them from wanting to launch a jihad against us, however, because, I think we'll discover, they were not raised AS Canadians. They were born and raised as foreigners on Canadian soil. We have allowed this to happen by taking in too many immigrants in too short a period of time. The result of which is that we have huge foreign communities within Canada's borders. Their kids are raised in those communities, speaking those languages first, watching satellite TV from "home", watching movies from "home", reading newspapers from "home" and, often as not, attending special ethnic/religious schools to retain their "culture" and "values".
Because of this, some of these "Canadians" might as well have grown up in Beirut or Tehran.
The solution is obvious; halt immigration for twenty to thirty years to allow the mass of immigrants here to become absorbed into the general population.
As a secondary solution, halt all immigration from Muslim countries. For any reason. If Muslim parents want their kids to go "home" to find a bride or groom they can damned well stay there. The authorities should also pay a lot closer attention to Muslim religious schools in Canada to see just what crap they are feeding into the minds of these kids.
No, no. My solution as a fascist is simpler. Round up every single Muslim in Canada, whether they were born here or not and send them on their merry way back from whence they and theirs originated. This is a security issue. I grow weary of watching and hearing Muslims threaten my country WHILST THEY ARE STILL ON CANADIAN SOIL!! I would take it a step further. As a fascist, I would seek to ban ALL religion and not just Islam. There is no GOD. Never has been and never will be. He is merely a myth created eons ago by frightened humans who did not understand the very world in which they lived. It is now the 21st century. Time to disengage all of Humanity from fairy tales and myths. We no longer require the Bible as a means of comfort. Those days are long gone.
I do hope either our military or our police forces adopt torture as a tactic of obtaining further information from these 'traitors' to Canada. A nice hammer to the fingers will elicit the mass of information we would require to end these bomb threats once and for all. Many would argue this is too cruel and inhumane. So prancing about Pickering with over 3 tonnes of explosives is not cruel and inhumane? What did they intend to do with such supplies? Feed the hungry? Is it not ironic they were caught in PICKERING? Take a moment to think about what would make an excellent target for these Muslim trash. Yes. The nuclear power plant. Read that article which started this thread again. One of the terrorists worked for a nuclear company. I smell an inside job here. What these terrorists could have gotten away with would have put the WTC massacre to shame. Minor league stuff. Imagine the damage which could be done if they succeeded in blowing up our nuclear power plant in Pickering? That is an act of war. If it is war they desire, then let us give it to them. It is time to rearm our nation. New planes. New tanks. New artillery. Naturally we begin this war at home. ALL Muslims are to be deported en masse. No discussion. Do it.
