Special Ed Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuckin_futz Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonLever Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 People attack Canada, because it's easier than attacking the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denguin Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taxi Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Canada is being targeted because we stand with America on everything. To the rest of the world Canada is just another American state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFTcan Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 theglobeandmail.com April 22, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Except that terrorist plot came into being in 2004. They weren't arrested until 2006. As for environmental terrorism, that link is not complete.

M A K A V E L I 96 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Special Ed Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Thanks for the history lesson Chief. However, the argument was whether the US was "aggressive" not whether the mission was sanctioned by the UN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
