Suicide bombing bill gets high-profile support
TORONTO — A roster of prominent Canadians is backing an effort by Senator Jerry Grafstein, left, to push through a bill that would make suicide bombing a criminal offence in Canada.
Grafstein’s private member’s bill, S-210, is a “made in Canada” solution to an international scourge and would bring suicide bombing within the definition of “terrorist activity” in the Criminal Code, said Reuben Bromstein, a retired judge and spokesperson for Canadians Against Suicide Bombing (CASB).
CASB has “blanketed” senators with e-mails, and traditional mail from supporters who believe Canadian lawmakers should take the lead in demonstrating to the world that Canada treats suicide bombing seriously, Bromstein said.
However, the bill appears to have stalled during second reading and is not advancing to the committee stage, where it can be studied and witnesses called to discuss its merits, he added......

Ok, I’ve read this twice.
What the ____ are they taking about?
BOMBING AND POSSESSION OF BOMBS AND POSSESSION OF BOMBING MATERIAL IS A CRIME IN CANADA, right?
So, now, if they want to add an enhancement, in case the suicider fails or survives somehow; so be it.
Ok, this last paragraph and may be enlightening:
ARTICLE SNIPPET (from post 542 link): “Grafstein said a practical application of the bill, if enacted, would be to “directly assist and enhance the prosecution of those unsuccessful suicide bombings and those who individually and collectively conspire to assist in suicide bombings.”
The CASB petition can be found at the organization’s wesite, www.canasb.ca.”
Proving Canadian politicians are no different animals than US politicians (all talk, no action, no explanation).
