Why would anyone get at Canada, unless they were native Americans? Are there some Canadian extremist movements I should be familiar with?

:mindblown

Canada sent fighter jets to combat ISIS the other day. At least that's what was just said on CBC Radio.

I'm struggling to figure out why they would target them.

Is it because they are our ally?

Or are these guys tied to the survivalists who have been killing cops here? Far fetched but possible?

Rob Ford declaring war in a coup attempt?

Why would they target us?  Really?  We participated in the Afghanistan war from the beginning.

We have had over 100 people travel to Syria to fight with ISIS.  Some have returned.

The attacker who killed a soldier on Monday was a radicalized IsIS supporter.

CBC interviewing police. Still an active investigation. More than one gunmen. CAN NOT CONFIRM that a shooter was shot at Parliament. (May be protocol) Has no new updates on the soldier shot this morning. Can confirm that no one is under arrest. When asked if he cannot confirm because it's an ongoing investigation or he doesn't know about the shooter, officer responded "a little bit of both"

Thats from reddit.

Seems to have taken them totally off guard. Which isn't surprising.

Some guy on our local radio is now saying Ottawa shut down the bridges due to a specific threat against them.


This badass got one of them

FWIW looks like we are ramping up port security in Cleveland. I just watched 5 military choppers go overhead and the coast guard is extremely active.  Probably just standard protocol.

Canadian Embassy in DC on lockdown.

Welp...what do they know we don't?

In response to the ongoing situation at Canada's Parliament, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, has increased its alert posture, CNN has learned. That means that it has increased the number of planes on a higher alert status ready to respond if needed. NORAD and Canadian authorities are in contact, an official told CNN.

Local radio (proceed with caution): The suspect that was shot by the RCMP was not killed by them. He shot himself in the head.

Two MP's are in stable condition, one with a leg wound and the other shot in the pant leg (?? has to be a typo)

RCMP personnel are NOT being told not to wear our uniforms.  We are either in uniform patrol duties, which necessitates wearing a uniform like any other police officer, or work in a plainclothes capacity already.

Indeed. 

Parliament Hill is also almost certainly not secured as tightly as The Capital in America. There is a large, overt RCMP security presence on The Hill, but access isn't strictly controlled on the grounds leading up to the building.  There are always lots of tourists hanging around in front of the buildings.

The soldier who died was just a few years younger than me.  It's always fucked up when someone your age or younger than you dies.  Had a whole life to live still.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/michael-zehaf-bibeau-reports-ottawa

Quote
Multiple media outlets reported on Wednesday that a suspect involved in multiple shootings at and near the Canadian parliament building in Ottawa was named Michael Zehaf-Bibeau.

CBS News was the first to report the name on Wednesday afternoon, citing law enforcement sources and saying he was a Canadian man born in 1982. The news organization later updated its report and said his name was Michael Abdul Zehaf Bibeau.

"One source says he sometime dropped the name Michael and went by Abdul Zehaf Bibeau," CBS reported. "At other times he apparently dropped the Abdul."

According to CBS, he sometimes went by Michael and at other times dropped his first name and went by Abdul Zehaf Bibeau.

Fox News also reported on-air that the suspect was Zehaf-Bibeau, and Reuters also used the name in a tweet, citing a "source familiar with the matter."

Sources told the Globe and Mail that Zehaf-Bibeau was on Canada's "high-risk traveller" list and his passport had been seized. The Globe and Mail noted that Martin Rouleau-Couture, the man who ran over two Canadian soldiers with his car on Monady had also had his passport seized.
