cannuck Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Will be interesting to see how the Liberal government deals with this one. Since he didn't actually KILL anyone, I guess his $10mm is down the tubes, but maybe $1mm a head for every citizen he could maim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still today, years later in civilized Canada, while walking on a street, I always look far ahead at parked cars in front to see if they are low. I know that it makes no difference but, well, car bombs are terrifying. Edited October 2, 2017 by August1991 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One supporter is already parrotting what a liberal pundit was trying to sell on tv yesterday: dissonance. Quote In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental discomfort (psychological stress) experienced by a person who simultaneously holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_dissonance That's right. Blame stress. Contradictory values contribute to the stress........do I smell a class action lawsuit in the future? Blame Canada for having contradictory values with Islam? Blame Canada for the stress? Huh. Edited October 2, 2017 by betsy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IDIOTIC policy of removing refugees from their own land and culture and resettling where they are neither welcome nor good fit climate change ineptitude (lack of ability to understand carbon cycle) Worst of all: believe that an economy can run on purely speculative investment (yeah, you might say that is American, but in reality the push comes from Europe) generally just drift mindlessly to the left. It ALWAYS fails, so why do we allow it to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marcus Posted October 2, 2017 Report Share Posted October 2, 2017 Are we in danger of these Muslim extremists or White nationalist extremists? Neither. This incident is only alarming to some of you because the guy is a Muslim. That's how emotional, primitive brains work. THE OTHERS ARE COMING! No wait, we already have over 1 million Muslims in Canada. It doesn't matter that every Muslim organization has fully condemned the attack by this unstable guy. The unstable guy represents Islam and Muslims, the 99.9999% other Muslims do not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bloody bad for him. This problem of 'fitting in' is a two-way street given how many people didn't want this guy to fit in. Canadians who actively do their best to make it 'bloody bad' for people shouldn't be surprised when they finally snap under the pressure of so much fear and loathing. It must be relentless too, I wonder how many disparaging messages or things a day on average a Muslim reads, sees or hears and how much time their thoughts are preoccupied trying to process them? I'm reminded of how John Kofi in the Green Mile compared the sensation of being loathed to bee stings. How many bee stings a day...day after day after day...do people think they could handle before snapping?

Vindication is not the same as satisfaction but the terms will be conflated regardless for the very same deliberate reason understanding and support are viewed as one and the same.
