    Motive and muslim start with the same letter, but this is only a coincidence.

      Islamic hate and terrorism is no coincidence – it is commanded by the ideology and never-ending.

    Currently there are 9 dead so far, 16 injured…some in serious condition.

    This should be a wake-up call to Canada for our naive Islamophile leaders, headed by Justin Trudeau.

    There should be an end to easy, fast-track immigration, large-scale from Islamist terror groups and countries.

    The Canadian government MUST start taking terrorism seriously but I think they will not because, in the mind of Trudeau, the more “Syrian” refugees the better. He can’t get them here fast enough – the numbers are staggering and presenting a danger to Canadians and to all North Americans.

      The governments at various levels in Canada along with the security officials seem to be in denial at this time, claiming that it has no implications for national security going forward…they want to spin (or, to be less cynical, just present this) as one-off innocuous attack.

      The suspect was dressed in black, had some kind of gun or something in his hand, repeatedly pointed it at police and was perhaps asking for martyrdom. He was screaming something but we do not know what. Is there anyone from Debka who recognizes the name Alex Minassian (name of terrorist released to public) and its specific origins…Armenian, Iranian, Turkish, etc.? They have no record of the man in police records – or so they say.

      Typical political jargon being used at press conferences to allay fears and make sure no particular group is connected to this attack by government or police.
