Domestic Terrorism in the Great White North?

[ok doser]

Kingston is about thirty miles from me, across the ice.

‘We disrupted the act’: Accused in Kingston terror arrests had started process of building bomb, RCMP say The arrests of two young people during raids on two homes in Kingston, Ont., thwarted a terrorist bomb plot that was already in the process of building a homemade improvised explosive device, a senior RCMP counterterrorism official said. After heavily armed police raided the homes and arrested two people who were friends — one under the age of 18 who is charged with terrorism offences and a 20-year-old man who was arrested but not charged — investigators said they seized an explosive substance described as “precursor elements” of a bomb. https://ottawacitizen.com/news/we-d...-say/wcm/be7bddc0-bc69-4bb9-aecc-a6cd6ee7928c

and now for the shocker:

The family of five is from Syria originally, but the children grew up partly in Kuwait, the sister said. The released man and his family came to Canada as refugees after being privately sponsored by a group of churches in Kingston about two years ago. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-kingston-teen-accused-in-alleged-terrorist-bomb-plot/

Domestic Terrorism in the Great White North?

Those arrested are misguided teenagers, not trained Islamic terrorists - it was probably other Moslem Syrians who informed the RCMP as to their activities!

If this had happened in America they would have had easy access to assault rifles and an arsenal of weapons like the shooter who killed over 50 and wounded 5000 in Las Vegas - and he was neither Moslem nor Syrian!

one is 20, and therefore not a teenager

and you have no way of knowing at this time what training they've had

- it was probably other Moslem Syrians who informed the RCMP as to their activities

cite?

If this had happened in America...

it didn't

it happened about ten miles from the border

true enough, and frustrating for me - i love posting these Canadian headlines, but followup is usually difficult or impossible
