andyt andyt:

be interesting to hear more once all the hype dies down. One of the suspects has pr status and has lived here 20 years. The other is a biochemistry student/researcher here on a student visa.

Student visa? I am just guessing here, but if this feller is only here on a student visa, and hasn't been here that long, he must have had affiliations with other terrorists prior to moving here. I am wondering if foreign students are subject to background/security checks prior to being allowed to study here. He obviously slipped through the cracks, either that or whoever was responsible for approving his student visa at Immigration Canada did not do a thorough job.

The guy who had PR status and was here 20 years, very likely became associated with terrorist groups after he moved to Canada. 20 years is a long time, and he may have made countless trips overseas where he could very easily have established ties with terrorists.

The Justice system here needs to make an example of these two guys, lock em up, and throw away the key. I would also encourage "advanced" interrogation methods to get all they know about the terrorist groups that they were in contact with. These guys need to especially tell the interrogators if there are any others here that were involved with their plan.

So now the jihadists seem to have arrived in Canada to blow it up.
They always were going to, just a matter of time.

Time now to seriously review immigration/foreign student policy...very very carefully.

Political correctness and any slap-happy attitude to the issuing of student visas must be tossed away, permanently.

Iran isn't a big sponsor of terrorism except for against Israel, AFAIK. Nobody's saying this is the Iranian govt behind this plot.

Jihadists armed with backpack bombs full of nuke material from "Death to America" Iran must be prevented from turning American and Canadian cities into uninhabitable wastelands.

Iran's nuke factories must be bombed, sooner rather than later.

Right, you're in charge of that, then.

It seems so simple when people who know close to nothing about something and have no power propose solutions.

[Jonny_C]

Let's be fair. A lot of people who know about the situation share the same basic sentiment, barring other solutions which sure don't seem to be working so far.

The solutions are very clear.
Trouble is, the West basically ridiculed Netanyahu when he explained it to them with his '5 minutes to midnight' presentation-

The Boston bombings might have woken them up.
Might have.

Good job by the police but I'm definitely worried about some of the loony left conspiracy theorists that seem to flood the CBC comments board.

I wouldn't be. I don't find the loony left comments on the CBC boards (or the loony right comments on Sun) to be very representative of the population.

Good to see you own up to 'not being very representative of the population'.

Yeah you were right to call me out on this. It was stupid.

Who were the last successful terrorists carrying out a bombing campaign in Canada and what would your plan have done to prevent that?

[Jonny_C]

A terrorist problem exists when you have to arrest and convict people of planning terrorist acts too. Successful acts are not the measure of the problem.

Correct. However, the last bombings were done by non-Muslim domestics. A fact conveniently overlooked in the rush to amp up the usual Muslims are bad party line.

Yeah, from a domestic perspective maybe. Tally up the number of acts by radical Muslims and radical Sikhs perpetrated on others on a global level, and I'm betting the farm the muzzies leave the Sikhs in the dust.

Also keep in mind, the last several arrests for plotting terrorism in Canada did NOT involve Sikhs.
Just because there haven't been any successful attempts by radical islamists is no reason to deflect and point to the one non-Muslim group that did pull off a successful attack.

I mean when we hear about these kinds of arrests, no-one is thinking "I bet it's those darn Sikhs", despite the one tragic 28 yr old event. And if you seriously think about it, I think you know why no-one does.

Yes, from a domestic perspective since my reply was against t.he insinuations that imported Muslims and domestics were the cornerstone of terrorism in Canada. They are not.

Besides, what makes you think it was Sikhs?

Who poses the biggest threat in Canada right now? Since 2005 there have been several high profile arrests and convictions for criminal terrorist campaigns. Police etc continue to counter the threat. It 'aint the FLQ. You need to get with the program.

Oh and the Imperial Japanese Navy is no longer a threat to BC....
