To be fair, if it's like the ISIS sympathizers in Calgary, it's more likely to be some whiny white incel loser convert, conceived from a load that should've been swallowed -- exactly the sort of person who would likely attend an anti-immigrant rally, had they been radicalized in a different context -- than an immigrant.

That does seem to be the trend with Canadian terrorists.

That the U Haul only hit 4 people while careening down Jasper ave. only to flip on its side just south on 100 ave & 107 street in front of a hotel, speaks volumes about how incompetent he was. Jasper ave is usually packed around then.

calgary is a factory for making terrorists, the mosque on 8th and 8th was great at churning them out and they didn't do anything (still haven't) to stop it, they just shrug their shoulders and claim it's not their fault. In fact that mosque changed their name because they got so much bad press but AFAIK still run the same.

He said he would not join caucus for the next two years during his campaign. Instead he said he will travel around Canada and meet the people.

The last centrist NDP leader frustrated and disenfranchised young and leftist voters, and ultimately led the party into a thorough political defeat that further diminished its already shaky credibility as a viable left-wing party. Clearly what we need is another centrist leader - one who, instead of vacillating between angry and mealy-mouthed in caucus, simply does not appear in caucus at all! There is no way this can go wrong.

e: fwiw I don't dislike Jagmeet and I hope he does a great job, I just wish we had an actually, overtly leftist party instead of a centrist party, a right wing party, and a further right wing party :smith:

There was a press conference and more information about the Edmonton Stabby McU-Haul guy has been released:

quote:

Terrorism-related charges are pending against a man accused of stabbing a police officer and deliberately plowing a cube van into pedestrians in Edmonton, Alta. Saturday night.

The suspect was known to both RCMP and police, RCMP K Division Superintendent Marlin Degrand told a news conference at Edmonton RCMP headquarters on Sunday afternoon.

The man was a Somali national going through the refugee claimant process, said Degrand

In 2015, after a complaint was made to Edmonton police that the man was displaying signs of extremism, members of the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) launched an investigatio, Degrand said,
The suspect was interviewed by members of INSET, but there was "insufficient evidence" to make an arrest and the suspect was deemed "not a threat," Degrand said.


Abdulahi Hasan Sharif is the man accused in the attacks, multiple sources have told CBC News.

The suspect is facing a series of charges, including participation in a terrorist attack, commission of an offence for a terrorist group, five counts of attempted murder, dangerous driving, criminal flight causing bodily harm, and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose.

The 30-year-old suspect in the attacks was apprehended following a high-speed chase just before midnight through streets filled with bar patrons and Edmonton Eskimo football fans. Police have said they believe the man acted alone.

I kind of had a feeling when the Globe and Mail devoted a full page puff piece to Singh in their Saturday Edition like 2-3 weeks ago. Never saw them do that for any other candidate.

As long as he doesn't gently caress us on PR and makes attempts to reform the justice system I'll be happy with him as PM if he.kanages to Instagram his way into office, which quite frankly he has a better chance at than one may think, considering how the public respond to social media BS.

Of course I basically said the same thing about PM Selfie and welp.
