Can't have traditional, ceremonial officers of Parl't upstaging the boys and girls in SWAT gear.

We know they had elevated the threat risk after the St. Jean killing yet they still sent that young corporal to the war memorial with an unloaded weapon. He stood there in the uniform of the Argyll & Sutherlands as perfect a target as there could be for some degenerate looking to make a statement. All they didn't do was pin a bulls-eye on that soldier.<br /><br />The security cameras on the Hill weren't working yesterday? That's awfully hard to believe especially coming from a government that so effortlessly lies to the public at the best of times.<br /><br />Harper should be made to wear this but that sort of confrontation is beyond our opposition leaders. I'm sure they would find that somehow undignified, beneath them.<br /><br />The whole business, this political theater of the absurd, is sickening.The Mound of Soundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09023839743772372922noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-10561321641583719012014-10-23T05:07:11.361-07:002014-10-23T05:07:11.361-07:00.. got home from work in time to see Chaos on Parl..... got home from work in time to see Chaos on Parliament Hill, Ottawa. Police, snipers, dogs with packs, robots, security, Mounties.. packs of armed men running all over the grounds, flashing lights everywhere, men peering up a the roof, scoped guns aimed, looking in wastebaskets, running down the hallways with two hands on their revolvers.<br /><br />From what I can gather, a lone deranged gunman drove up, murdered a ceremonial sentry at our military tomb, right in front of stunned tourists, then assaulted the Parliament Building on foot. After entering seems he was shot dead during a firefight, dozens and dozens of shots fired as journos and MP's watched and whipped out their cel phones. Gawd knows how many of our finest pumped a few shots into the inert perp once he was down. A full clip after this day could look bad<br /><br />Seemingly nobody in a security role could clarify how many men the lone gunman was. He slipped in unseen after dashing passed the eternal flame with a weapon in hand? It took hundreds and hundreds to 'clear' the building? The security cameras weren't working yesterday? Damn, there's a lot we just don't know<br /><br />Our fearless 'leader' was 'whisked away' as Manbridge gravely intoned, to an undisclosed secret location where he could manage the crisis.. one hopes Ray Novak was whisked away as well plus our PM's hair and makeup person.<br /><br />Another fine Canadian Forces man down.. It can't be true his weapon was strictly ceremonial.. Hw was guarding the tomb of an unknown Canadian Soldier .. with an empty weapon? Say it aint so, Stephen Harper.. You are 'the Authorities' .. and you're wearing this.. on your watch. Whisked away ... oh really ..the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-72484386846285693252014-10-22T18:34:03.372-07:002014-10-22T18:34:03.372-07:00Willy, under Harper Canada has been transformed in...Willy, under Harper Canada has been transformed into a true surveillance state. From the backroom boys at CSIS and CSEC to the CRA Tax Stasi, they're all over ordinary, law abiding, genuinely concerned Canadians.

They have an entire unit made up of RCMP, CSIS, CSEC and border security agents to identify, monitor and track environmentalists because they supposedly present a terrorism risk to pipelines.

CBC has reported that the shooter had a 10 year criminal record related to drugs in Quebec. <br /><br />Also, seems Wynne kept the Ontario Legislature going, saying that she refused to be intimidated. Meanwhile, Parliament was shut down, Harper was spirited away, and there was Jason Kenney, I think, tweeting that Canadians refused to be intimidated or something like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
