...”It’s too big to make disappear, but they need time to write the ‘narrative’ and focus the ‘optics’”...
Canadians sincerely have believed they are exempt from attacks....now they know otherwise.
You’re right they need to focus etc. but this did surprise them I believe. Although obvious they were on it immediately and prepared....still the public has had their head in the sand as do those in our nation.
We can only hope the adage about mugged liberals holds true. I think it will. If Canada wants to survive, it better. I don’t have any hope left for us. Too many willfully ignorant people.
RCMP and CSIS are surprisingly good at finding and neutralizing threats. The best-known were the “Toronto 18” plot that was disrupted in 2006 and the plot to derail a passenger train that was broken up last year, but virtually all of the work they do takes place with zero publicity (as it should be).
