CTV commentator: this was definitely a planned attack.

Regular security would not be expecting someone walking in with a weapon and using it. That will change, now.

I liked Flashpoint. Watched every episode.

I came to hate that show. What turned me off was an episode where a young misfit couple were robbing a jewelry store. I think the backdrop was that the criminal wife was suffering from some disease which healthcare wouldn't cover - thus they were 'forced' to rob. The jewelry store was run by some middle aged couple, and the young thieves put a knife to the jewelry store owner-wife. The jewelry store owner-husband pulled a gun on the criminal couple, but they convinced him to drop the gun, or else they'd stab his wife. He did, and the Canadian Bonnie and Clyde took off with the Gun. When the Canadian JBTs ('Flashpoint') showed up, they kept sneeringly referring to the owners as Mr. and Mrs. Smith and Wesson. And, of course, since the young criminals now had a gun in their possession -- they had to commit crimes. Because having a gun just does that to people...

I clicked that show off, and never watched it again.

Not me, it’s from Twitter.

They have recently been encouraged by Isis leadership to pursue lone-wolf attacks. Terror, fear, panic and doubt are always worthwhile goals for this enemy ..

Any more of this crap and everyone will be packing, legally or not. Suddenly things will become more civilized.

Or we can declare our countries gun-free zones...

That was the greatest hockey game in history. The Broad Street Bullies And the USSR national Army team IIRC. Didn’t have the balls to answer the bell for the 2nd period.
The Flyers absolutely beat the snot out of them.
Free people always have a lot extra in the tank weather it’s a hockey game or a fight.
This is a part of the calculus this government does not understand. The American people will not roll over to tyranny.

This should probably be a wake up call to the WH secret service, considering how they recently let someone get over the fence, across the lawn, and into a couple of rooms.

US Capitol Hill/WH is probably on high alert.

This is more than a “lone wolf”, not sure yet how big it is. At least two shooters, apparent target was MPs gathering for Caucus Day.

This is about the closest thing to 9/11 Canada has had.

Hopefully this will cure Canadians of the desire to elect Justin Trudeau and the Liberals.
