“Lock your office door and stay away from the windows...” [Moonbat View]

At 2 pm sharp I had been prepared to make a statement in the House honouring the Dalai Lama, whom I will be seeing on Friday in Vancouver, and calling for China to respect human rights in Tibet. By 4 pm I was to be testifying in the Senate committee studying my private members bill for a National Lyme Disease strategy.

Instead it has been a day of tragedies and shock. As I write this, I am still in lock-down. With seven of my staff in Confederation Building, our office door is locked and we are staying away from the windows. The security officers are still monitoring our hallways.

So, while it is too early to jump to conclusions, I intend to hold fast to the following: we must ensure that this appalling act of violence is not used to justify a disproportionate response. We must not resort to hyperbolic rhetoric. We need to determine if these actions are coordinated to any larger group or are the actions of one or two deranged individuals. If it is the latter we must develop tools and a systematic approach to dissuade our youth from being attracted to violent extremist groups of any kind.

We do know that through history these kinds of events open the door to a loss of democracy. Naomi Klein details the elements of seizing the opportunity created by tragedy or tumult in Shock Doctrine. The title of her new and important book on climate, This Changes Everything, is correct – the threat of the climate crisis changes everything. The shootings on Parliament Hill do not change everything.

Notice how climate change is weaved in somehow. The comments are interesting. Some seem to be downright supporters of ISIS. Too bad they can't invoke the war measures act and put half of these kooks in prison.

Here are some comments, just to give you some insight into the Canadian left...

Thank you Elizabeth. Are we really going to be surprised when the attacks come to our soil, when we've been bombing the citizens in the middle east senseless for years, just to add a few coffers to the oil and arms family pockets.
How long did they think we could get away with Bombing 'Brown People' before they were going to react. Harpo declared war on ISIL. Well guess what? They brought it back to him. I don't want to hear anybody expressing surprise at the outcome. It was long over due.
A homeless, shelterless person, away from home and mother for last 5 yrs, solitary attack, no connection, Psychopath with no treatment, expensive medications not covered by OHIP, left on street untreated, We all are responsible for leaving such person unattended. Needed Reheb and councilling. Costly isnt it, pay the price now.

We need to determine if these actions are coordinated to any larger group

Piece of cake. The people that committed these actions already declared what larger group the acted in the interest of. ISLAM.........
But I have a feeling you will not accept that.......

Everyone wants sensible policies, tell that to the muzzie when he has you by the hair and is about to cut your head off with a dull rusty knife.

The moslems are at war with us (the western civilization) they will not stop until the last one of us or them is dead.
