Siding with the terrorists does have its consequences.

I don't understand this comment at all.

If your implication is that Canada in any way supports terrorism, then I think you should expand on why you believe that and let's discuss it. But this couldn't be your implication as the story is regarding Canadian police arresting people for potential terrorist activities, which is necessarily taking sides against terrorists.
 
Progress. It comes slowly, but come it does. This isn't necessarily "closer to the end" progress, but more like "something good happened" progress. Either way, good job done by Canadia.
 
I agree, great job by our RCMP! :cheers:

One thing I do have a problem with is the negativity we're getting from the US about this though, claiming we need to tighten down on terrorism. Why? We caught them before anything happened, and our RCMP were in control of the deal right up until the point of capture. It showed that we do not endorse terrorism, and hopefully this will send that message out to anyone who wants to try it in the future.

I don't agree with the stupidity of some people who then went out and made personal religious attacks and vandalizing muslim churches in the area, but unfortuantly after incidents like this, that can be hard to stop. Still though, arrests and news like this make me proud to be part of this country. 👍

Any time something like this happens it's used as an excuse to tighten up border control and talk about Canada's asylum policy and who we grant refugee status too, then in 2 weeks everything gets back to normal. I should add that tightening up the border doesn't help if the people are Canadian or American citizens already.
 
I agree with you dbartucci and SRV. Tightening borders don't really help when one can easily hop over a fence in a rural area or dig a tunnel, as with the huge drug bust here in Vancouver a while ago.

I don't know why US is bashing Canada for this; as you said, SRV, Canada prevented this from happening at the first point. US didn't react until the Oklahoma Bombing happened, for example, and they aren't spending much time preventing the attacks. US should be learning from the RCMP as to how they prevented the possibly deadly attack on Southern Ontario.

But I'm surprised that this news hasn't received much publicity. Not many members here reacting to it :nervous:

Agreed, the border is like 3,000km long but there's only 22 Customs points.

Yes, I'd quite like an explanation on this one too. Let's hope it's a corker.
 
...I think he was referring to the 5 people under 18, who probably helped the terrorists out because they thought it was "cool".
 
Try living 15-25kms away from it like I do, it kind of shocks you for a few moments.
 
Aww....

How's people coping with it down there? I see on news that there's been LOTS of mosque vandalisms since the arrest.
 
Not that I know of here nobody is vandalising them. And in my city people are still a little shocked but its wearing off. Its funny because where I live, the next guy beside me or a new neighbor can be a terrorist with a bomb in his basement, pretty wierd if you ask me.
 
Yeah...that's another problem; it's so hard to tell between a suicide bomber/terrorist and a normal civilian. The fact that we as a public are often not informed of secret activities by the police agencies doesn't help either.

^^^Did that make sense?
 
Yes it did make sense right, but I guess they want to keep things quiet not to let people get scared and panic.
 
There's the reason why we are kept so many secrets by the government; people panic. Can't they just take a chill pill and calm down, assess the situation, and come up with a solution? They teach this at school, why not put it into good use?

The public worries too much. If police told me that there are 17 terrorists trying to blow up CN tower, and that public should be informed on this, then I will not go around in circles screaming at top of my lungs.

But if analyzed from another angle; if police told the public about them spying 17 people suspected of planning a terror attack, then the secret investigation won't be so "secret' anymore. It's a double-edged sword, really.
 
Your right, because opening up to the public would just blow the whole investigation and be too heat.

Thats nothing compared to what my sister is dealing with. The one building they were going to hit is what my sister see's when she looks outside her window at work, right across the road. :scared:

She was just a little more then shocked to say the least.

If you knew the terrorists were being watched then so would the terrorists and they would have moved elsewhere and started over instead of being caught.

Police agencies keep these things secret so that the people they are watching don't know until they are caught.

Which would you prefer, not knowing who is suspected of terrorism and seeing them caught or finding out that a group that was being watched just bombed your town because they knew they were being watched elsewhere?
 
They wanted to lop the head off of the Prime Minister...can you imagine ?

I guess they had a plan to get through security...
 
Security? :lol:

They have one guard shack at the entrance, and thats it. Even the exit is completely open to anyone who wants to drive through it. Its funny because the American embassy down the street is like Fort Knox, and our own parliment is like a drive through.
 
^^ I'll second the laugh.

A few years ago a weirdo even managed to get inside the house of our prime minister at night. Jean was a big guy though, he was quite able to handle things all by himself:

:lol:

I do remember seeing very tight security around Brian Mulroney when I saw him on vacation in a small remote village though. In any case, I guess security business will become quite lucrative in Ottawa.

I know, that's what I said in the next paragraph of the same post.

What was the proposed targets anyway? I missed the news.
 
This was predictable, but still, it's quite scary: here's a related article from TimesOnline

TimesOnline
One aim is to create an army of “white-skinned” militants, men born in Europe and America who can convert to Islam and become harder for the authorities to detect as they cross the world on their missions, including suicide attacks. Using skilled computer operators around the world, al-Zarqawi’s outfit passes on bombmaking manuals, advice on how to sustain terror cells and even ways to use credit card fraud to hack into vital internet sites.

Anyone remembers ace96?

I really don't know how this will end, but thanks to these extremist nutjobs, I think the first ones to ultimately pay the price if anythings really bad happens are Muslims living in the Western world.
