Alleged terror plot thwarted by arrests in Ontario, Quebec (CBC)

Wth is wrong with these terrorists? Who wants to attack the peace keeping country? We've done nothing to piss anyone off

[Special Ed]

Definitely. When you've been bombing their people for decades..

It's kinda like a bully picking on a nerd or whomever at school. Soon enough he'll get pissed off and bite back.

[nuckin_futz]

America also bombed the Germans and the Japanese but they don't have any problems with them anymore do they? Pre-9/11 America wasn't that aggressive,

Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, funding terrorists or as they're called when you like what they're doing "rebels" in Nicaragua, Iraq etc.

If you're going to dole out Koolaid. Keep it to the kind in my Avatar.

It is only an "alleged plot" and "alleged terrorists". Nothing is proven in court.

How do we know if if all the evidence is not planted by the RCMP, CSIS, with coordination with the CIA/FBI? That is what Alex Jones say all the time.

[Dittohead]

So i take it our standing in the international community has taken bit of a hit in the Harper years?  Or are terrorist plots happening regardless?

Since when Does AQ qualify for the international community?

[TOMapleLaughs]

And no.

Terrorism in Canada pre-dates Harper:

[Harbinger]

Too many immigrants in this country. Not enough background checking

[DeNiro]

People attack Canada, because it's easier than attacking the USA.

[Harbinger]

This.

And no.

Could still possibly be an American target. Via rail has service to places like New York, according to BC1 News.

That would explain why American officials are involved.

Funny you linked to that source when it mentions Islamic terrorist efforts against Canada started in 2006, the year Harper came into power. 'Attempted' efforts, that is.

Environmental terrorism has also occurred in the Harper era. Not before.

[nuckin_futz]

FYI, Korea was a UN-sanctioned mission and it was North Korea invading South Korea first.

[taxi]

Canada is being targeted because we stand with America on everything. To the rest of the world Canada is just another American state.

The Harper government is using the Boston Marathon bombing to expedite the passage of a relatively slow-moving bill that would restrict civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism.

Some of the measures in S-7, the Combating Terrorism Act, have previously been law but expired because they were so-called sun-set provisions introduced in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.

The Conservative have cleared time in their legislative agenda Monday and Tuesday to conduct third-reading debate on S-7, legislation that would authorize police to pre-emptively detain Canadians and hold them for up to three days without charging them.

The NDP is the only party to oppose this act which infringes on the rights of canadians

[Wetcoaster]

Except that terrorist plot came into being in 2004. They weren't arrested until 2006.

As for environmental terrorism, that link is not complete. People have been bombing gas pipelines for decades:

We need to stop following America in their future wars. They're always at war with someone or another. Canada shouldn't be seen as an extension of them, so that we don't end up being a target because of blowback from things they've done.

[Special Ed]

Thanks for the history lesson Chief. However, the argument was whether the US was "aggressive" not whether the mission was sanctioned by the UN.
