Five days ago a recruitment centre for the Canadian Forces was bombed in Trois-Rivieres, Quebec. I started a thread that day and posted this article from the Toronto Star on it:

http://www.thestar.com/news/quebec/article/831182--group-claims-responsibility-for-quebec-canadian-forces-office-blast

However, we never really got around to talking about it.

Why not? Does no one really care? Is all of our concern about terrorism really just for show, or a facade?

Of course, it could be argued perhaps that going by a strict definition, it may not technically be terrorism. I am not sure whether they were " trying to influence people politically through fear " or just being a bunch of douchebags. Either way though, it should concern us all when someone takes it upon themselves to blow up a place primarily visited by young people looking to serve their country.

Strangely enough, I am not sure if the Star actually published a follow up article. Maybe they knew it would not be a buzz starter, as it has proven not to be here. In fact, most of the stories a quick search of Google brings up are from the day of the blast, though there is this piece from the next days Montreal Gazette:

Unfortunately it does not appear to offer much new information, either.

So, who among you is concerned with the bombing?

I am just happy that the Media didn't glamourize this as something it wasn't.
