Multiple dead after shooting at Quebec City mosque

[Corduroy]

It is all but impossible to be proactive tracking down what Ralph Goodale referred to today as a lone wolf.

Seems like a lot of the Islamic terrorist attacks in North America are committed by "lone wolfs". They get associated to terrorist organizations because they are inspired and radicalized by their propaganda. Rarely do they make contact with these organizations or have planned to carry out their attacks with the organizations guidance.

This shooter in Quebec City was likely similarly radicalized and is a lone wolf only in the sense that he's not part of an organized group. There are a lot of losers posting racist and extremist views online, easily accessible on social media, even on this forum, and Trumpist terrorists are emboldened now more than ever.

They don't belong to cells that may be tracked by security agencies and the idea of expanding those same agencies surveillance capabilities I doubt would go down well with most Canadians.

Probably not. They'd have to monitor conservative hate groups, which make up a significant portion of the conservative movement. Conservatives freak out and cry about discrimination when the government monitors their terrorist activity.

The Quebec police could do something though. This is the ninth time the mosque has been attacked so it is obviously a known target to the police. An increased police presence in the area might help prevent any further criminal acts.

What Canada needs is it's own version of the US second amendment and Muslims need to arm themselves. I'm sure that will go over well.

You're right we do. Because the terrorists are already armed.

 

[Corduroy]

Who armed them?

 

[Durry]

Is it true that the shooter of the female engineering students in Montreal a number of years ago was orbital lay from the Middle East? Anybody know?

**should read,,,originally from the ME

 

[DaSleeper]

And when politicians jump ahead of the police to guide the message and the news in a certain direction.....we may only get to the truth at the trial......maybe!
By then....It's old news!

 

[Durry]

If you're referring to Marc lepine, he was born in Montreal
sniff

Ok, thanks

Who armed them?

The local gun shop?

A Trumpite who liked the NDP? Nah, I'd say he's a French nationalist. By French, I don't mean legal nationality here, but French ethnicity.

NDP or Layton? There's a difference. Jack's been silent for five years.

I hear he faked his death and now spends his time living on Mt St Helens with Kirk Cobain, and 2 pac...

good point. Plus Layton was a somewhat more moderate Dipper, Mulcair even more so. layton could stay in due to his personality. Mulcair can't pull it off so is being turfed. The NDP will go back to its hard left roots soon enough.

They evolved out of the wobblys and soft communists. Basically the party of freeloaders and lowlifes. Right now they are abandoning their traditional union support in favor of urban greenies.

Interesting. Many of our radical left wing groups of the 60s and 70s evolved from the same type of people... soft, wobbly, wannabee communists. Then they became the SLA, etc.

The NDP has some soul searching to do.

I believe in Karma...always have...

There must be a special place in Hell for people like that cowardly Mosque shooter...I won't even allow myself to use his real name. Coward is his real name.

Or perhaps they come back in their next life as a quadriplegic, or blind or deaf or something.

I'm schizophrenic, which isn't too bad, so I kinda think in my past life I was probably a petty horse thief or something like that.

I dunno, Machjo. This seems like an age for moderate centrists workshopped at a PR firm for maximal inoffensiveness. I think Michael Ignatieff is available.

You might be right, Corduroy. Layton and Mulcair might not be one-offs but rather an attempt among a majority of Dippers to shift the NDP towards the centre. From what I've read though, some Dippers aren't happy about that, meaning a family feud in the party.

They thought they had a shot at power so they shifted to the centre and tried to be as inoffensive as possible. They didn't want leftism to blow it for them, but I would argue that Trudeau won by taking the ideological ground the NDP gave up.

 

[Hoof Hearted]

Trudeau won because he was dreamy and ooohh!...those EYES!!!

 

[Machjo]

Trudeau won because he was dreamy and ooohh!...those EYES!!!

Is that why you voted for him?

Don't forget the hair. The Conservatives loved drawing attention to it. Stephen Harper goes to sleep most nights crying over a lock of it. Right after his bath in the blood of the innocent.

Muslims have to grow up and accept much responsibility for this attack. Other visible minorities are not being attacked because they accept and practice Canadian values.

You are one sick puppy, Durry - or do you not realize that by posting this kind of **** you are playing into the hands of those who wish to stir discontent. From everything I have read about the victims of the mosque shootings, Canadian Muslims for the most part, they had integrated well into their community. They were well thought of and contributed in many ways to our country.

You are the one who needs to grow up. Muslims are not responsible for this attack. A Quebec born white Canadian man killed those people.

You are right, other Canadian minorities are not being attacked but not for the reasons you wrote. Muslims are an easy target for hatred these days by those, like you, who wish to lump them in with the likes of ISIS for their own ends - the furtherance of hatred.
