I'm from Ottawa. I was working about 100 feet from the war memorial. Let me tell you , there's nothing funny about what happened. The gunman was identified and the city is still in shambles... The 24 year old army reservist leaves a son behind. Pls stay respectful
Oddly enough it was the same day a Nobel Peace winner was going to receive her citizenship in Toronto from the PM Harper. Time to work harder at ejecting unwanted visitors
im respectfull, but if you're going in the army you are kinda asking to be shotshot one way or another

Or maybe one that thinks racist insults are something that is best avoided. Racism is a fundamentally flawed and deeply stupid attitude to have. Judging people by their skin or using the actions of a few to justify hating many is as lazy as it stupid. Worse if is exactly what the people who commit these acts want. They want to create, more hatred, more fear, more reasons that they can use to push their warped perverted ideology.
Because you're not smart enough to understand that terrorism is a concept, not a particular race or religion, and it's been around as long as mankind has.
Terrorism: 1) The use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. 2) The act of instilling terror. Nowhere in there does it reference any race. Learn what words mean.
My comment was kind of off topic but why do high numbers of terrorists originate from the Middle East or are inspired by the Middle East. The shooter was an Islamic convert. >inb4 not all Muslims As for Africa, they offer almost nothin to the world and constantly suck in huge amounts of foreign aid. >inb4 muh slavery >inb4 European oppression
Guys im canadian n live in the capital itself n was in the lockdown! The war memorial shooting was a distraction since the soldier had a unloaded gun etc (so perfect target) then he went n attacked the parliament where a series of 24-30 shots fired n he was then gun down by the SGT at arms then city was in full lockdown!! It is not confirmed ISIS but all signs prove it was : ISIS gave big threats if we sent our jets to fight ISIS n well this was staged attcked n there are other signs of proof !
The guy was canadian from quebec but rumoured to be a ISIS terroist! This was the second attack in the past 2 weeks!
Who cares if it was ISIS or not? If it was, big deal. We'll just keep doing what we're doing. Maybe institutionalize a few more people before they go bat-crazy. ISIS wouldn't be the reason for it anyway, even if the guy HAD done it in the name of them. The guy was crazy, which is why he would have converted to an extremist group (that he knew lots of people mistrust already) and attempted to do this. He had a wide range of extremist groups to choose from. Islam is not to blame. It is the individual who is to blame.
