what seems to be a huge question is how do you know someone is "radical" in a free society??? If I post distain for our government over the interwebs, am I subject to round the clock government intervention? in a free country we can express our opinions without fear of punishment. so this becomes tricky when things get posted, like this shooter apperently did. I cant blame those in power for not arresting this guy pre incident, because how does anyone distinguish a post or tweet between an actual physical threat??? its impossible. so do we arrest anyone on the spot that posts distain for our country, our people or our government??? if thats the case we ALL lose freedom. we can and should be able to say anything we want. acting on that is obviously a huge difference however. that being said, i think canada should adopt open carry laws. take the burden off police and military. let us show how we WILL protect one another in this great country. and drifter great post on that video. man thats a overwhelming moment.

x2.

 

Remember today you are safe to wear a turnban, kirpan, burka or hijab and feel safe but not your military uniform. That just doesn't sit right with me personally.

pretty sure most this board would share the same feelings. regarding the military uniforms, i still dont understand that call? its military, they are always targets. no reason they cant display themselves in public,proudly. also im sure our military doesnt fear these random attacks that rarely ever happen

 

 

So a policeman wears a turbanSO WHAT!

 

I am proud to be Canadian exactly because of that!!!!!!!!!

 

Proud of the Canadian tradition of freedom and tolerance.

most "Canadian" post in this whole thread

I wonder how are military men and women feel being told to dress as civilians? IMO thats very disrespectful.

Thats just not true......MERRY CHRISTMAS....MERRY CHRISTMAS....MERRY CHRISTMAS.

silly brit. we need fear mongering

3 shooter now one? what happened to the guy escaping in a vehicle?also. classy act by pittsburgh

 

He had a weapon, but it wasn't loaded.

is there a specific reason for that? my guess would be a symbolism of a free country???? but really, if we have military protecting a monument, that gun should be loaded, IMO. a military man with zero chance, I fail to see the rational in that

why was this military personel unarmed? as long as are military isnt policing canadian citizens i have zero issues with military remaining armed

and now talk about guns and security of parliament

Any word on the city worker that seen a suspect escape in a police/or aid vehicle?

Now I see on cbc they have bomb detectors being rigged up. Must be checking every possible situation

Norad is on high alert and have planes in the air according to Peter Mansbirdge

wow! This is gnarly. I hope all are safe. This is just crazy

I hope I dont offend anyone here that may have been effected by the boston bombing, but I wonder if this will be a similar situation? Two nutjobs at large is very scary. I hope this ends quickly, with only two more casualities

manitoubass2 The US is protecting the Canadian consulates in Washington and New York, that and the nature of threats levied is why the White House is talking about it

oh I see. This situation sounds like it may escelate. Two people still remain at large???where there previous threats against canada/us?

Wow. My friend with the police was just their last night receiving a medal. Horrible situation all around. Whats with the white house reporting on this already???canadas 911 what the hell?

Welcome aboard!

You dont see that everyday!!! Figure 8 on shore hahaha awesome simon! Im surprised that didnt scare ya abit

Anyone is welcome at my house for dinner, just be sure you provide proof of income and dont touch my darn wine!!

 

Lol, i dont envy the life of you city folk

You ought to see the ones in Barrie at the on ramps, outright crackheads, for all I care they can freeze there.

i can understand your point of view.

Yeah, we also have to be sympathic to certain situations. Not everyone out begging is a drug fiend or alcoholic. Some that are might be war veterens who havent been properly helped by society/government and other similar situations. Its just a bad situation all around. Id prefer to continue to help where I can, but I also will not give cash unless it comes with a service(not hookers lol) but honestly alot of great people end up in bad situations sometimes beyond their control. You have to factor that in, or heaven forbid this ever falls on yourself or family

Cliff, the LCBO doesn't accept fritters as a form of payment.

I remember working down town T.O. and standing at the corner of Yonge and Queen streets. There was a homeless guy who sat there pretty much every day. I watched a young lady hand the guy a styrofoam food container. He opened it to find a club house sandwich, with fries and slaw. I watched him throw it at her and curse at her.

LCBO doesn't accept club house sandwiches either.

HH

i had a young guy ask for money once at the winnepeg bus station. We were on a family trip so we had packed snacks and sandwiches etc for the ride. I offered him a beverage and a sandwich after he asked for $5 to go to A&W in the bus station. He declined my offer, then threatened me? Drugs id assume but who knows? Sure makes a guy leary about lending a helping hand in the city

Just my opinion but if we held our resources, kept business and corporation Canadian, we would be wealthy and unemployment would only be those who couldnt work. Alot of issues arise from your post, no real simple fix. Ive went through tough times too and if I absolutely had to, I would be out there, and my kids would have ate your fritter. But where I live, you can easily forage hunt and fish, if you have the gear. Pretty cheap to snare rabbits as well, but again you need shelter and winter gear etc. People around here are also super kind, its no issue to find work, shelter, food, bartering etc. I feel for those truly in need in the cities though, id imagine it to be much tougher. The fellow that threw your kind gesture back at you, well he obviously wasnt starving, so i dont know what to say???

 

Quite a difference between drug residue and legally purchased goods.

Just sayin'

lol not really. But yeah. Border control has quite the authority. Just be aware of that. Nothing like saving $400 only to have your vehicle destroyed lol

If you have problem with your plumbing and it's flooding your home, do you first address the very large leak or the small leak first.

one job. Not two
