My question is will he keep posting about it when it's the OPC doing it. Ontario politics has been bad with cronyism and short term fixes for a very very long time.

Hey, I gave the OLP 10 years of learning time so surely the OPC deserves the same. I think you have higher hopes for them than I do though, I don't think they win. Let's get Paul Dewar heading the ONDP now that he has some free time and I'll have some hope.

You may not. A feeling of constant persecution is the only thing that can stimulate most CanPol posters; be considerate and do not deprive them of it.

3 dudes walked into a concert hall and opened up with AKs, reloading a couple of times during the process.

And then they started executing hostages one by one.

At least report the news accurately if you're going to spread it here!

40+ dead, hostage situation in the Bataclan concert hall (possibly 100 inside), suicide bombing and/or grenades at the football stadium, a bar was shot up from outside by gunmen.

But don't worry, its all probably just a group of people with mental illness who randomly scouted out locations, geared up and assaulted and killed over 40 people. Im sure this won';t have anything to do with the Islamic State, no need to worry guys. Random event, just like a natural disaster.

Yes I'm sure it was only a matter of time before the Jihadi masterminds Nuttall and Korody pulled off a big coordinated plot like this. It's just too bad France doesn't have the Mounties to keep em safe from terrorists :angel:

Do you seriously not see the difference between what people were saying about Zehaf-Bibeau and this? It's not about you actually having an effect on the situation, it's about you trying to score weird points in some imaginary shitposting conflict no one else cares about.

Swagger cannot tell the difference between shooting military targets and shooting civilians, so why would you think he could tell the difference between Ottawa and Paris or the difference between what happened there?

Your posting is fine, but the bit about Muslim stuff was pointless. No poo poo it was Islamic radicals. Not first time and not last time, and still not really relevant to Canadian political questions. This stuff is pretty sad and bad though. :(

Posted on the DND page. Jesus christ. Of course! Thats what a live shooting needs, barely trained old people with lovely calibre handguns facing trained armed militants with 7.62mm AK-47s. Definitely, lets throw in more chaos for first responders to deal with.

Why do you think they're trained militants? Most CC people larp with their guns all the time, they train at least as much as lovely terrorists. In a smallish theatre, I doubt the 7.62 probably shooting FMJ is giving you a huge advantage over a 9mm or 5.7x28 shooting mushrooming personal defense rounds.

If they invoke Article 5, won't we be obliged? It's obvious that NATO wasn't conceived with non-state actors in mind, but I don't recall it making any distinction. Still, I'd be much more willing to support Canada *and the rest of NATO* attacking ISIS than I would be wiling to support us attacking them alone.

Have regional powers take care of them instead. Getting involved more in the fight against ISIS just seems fruitless.

Not sure what you mean? ISIS was al-Qaeda before they split.
