They could just be planning a robbery, they might only be criminals, not terrorists.

Edit:  Please don't take that seriously.

It's probably more likely than that they're terrorists, so I don't mind you saying it. Of course we both know it more likely to be nothing, but I don't think anyone here has any problem with the VPD asking about the situation either.

These guys are dressed very fashionably and in expensive clothes. They look like the typical rich Saudis attending English schools all over downtown Vancouver.

They were probably just instagraming or testing out new expensive phones. This whole thing is ridiculous.

Until something happens right?

Then what? Everyone cries and complains that police aren't doing enough..

Worst case scenario people are hurt or even worse..

Ya I don't think the whole thing is ridiculous..

I don't bother with local malls anyway but I'd avoid Pacific Centre because its a gurantee that I'd get hassled by police and security because I look vaguely "Middle Eastern".

Vaguely?

 

So you're Syrian then?

 

How can we be so sure you're not a refugee here to cause mayhem?  vaguely middle eastern means a lot to people like us here in Canada.  

 

How do you like being labeled immediately based on a generalization of you skin colour?  Bombed anything lately?  Plan too?  Durned Syrian refugee get off our forum

What the hell are you talking about? I should take tweets that I'm posting up with a mod? They're related to the topic.

I do think the title is trolling for people to come and respond with the wrong idea, but then again the post you chose to reply to says nothing about that.

You're complaining about the title of the thread, take it up with a mod if you disagree and if you feel the thread is misleading again take it up with a mod or don't enter it.

I see here that you're not opposed to the vpd covering all bases.

So you just find the title misleading?

What would you prefer?

FYI 9 out of 10 people agree with What VPD has done based on News1130 poll.

Remember that in Canada you have a better chance of being hit by a bus in your living room than of being killed by a terrorist.

That may be true, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

I think it has more to do with Canada not going around the world starting wars.

Donald is calling for a ban on all cell phones and cameras until our representatives can figure out what the hell is going on.

All joking aside, I think situations in France and to a lesser extent this one shows why the Government shouldn't be rushing people into the Country as fast as possible.

Take time to completely cover all your bases.

Well I'm not sure where you have been but Canada is bombing isis in Syria and Iraq we also bombed Libya and were big players in the afghan war. Canada doesn't run and hide. Canada responds justly to dictators and killers.

There's a difference between doing limited military strikes and using suspect evidence to launch full scale wars.

Canada has 2 fighter jets there now and the government has said they'll be coming back. Going forward, I think you'll see less of what the Harper government was doing in following along with everything the US does and more focus on our country.

Thank Gretzky for that.

 

The less involved we are in killing and destroying the less of a target we have.  We've been a nation of builders and helpers for far too long to eschew that in leue of being a puppet at the behest of the US and NATO for literally no reason at all other than to appease the other nations within it.

Actually we had 6 fighter jets bombing isis and a small ground force that was just recently in a day long fire fight that same ground force that Trudeau is signalling to ramp up significantly. By the way the Liberals sent troops to Afghanistan and then sent troops to the roughest fighting in the entire Country along with Leopard tanks.

I think you're right about that, they look like South Asians (maybe Pakistanis or Indians).
