BREAKING: Canadian Soldier Shot Across Street From Parliament …Shooter On The Run …In Parliament Building Now?
A Canadian soldier has been shot across the street from Canada’s Parliament building in Ottawa and his status is unknown at this time. The shooting comes less than a week after an islamist with connections to ISIS hit and killed a Canadian soldier with a vehicle.
The shooter is presently on the run and it’s unclear at this time where he or she may be. Reports of a second shooting are unconfirmed but RCMP has now locking down an eight block radius of Parliament and is searching the Parliament building itself now.
Source: Spike in ISIS-related chatter targeting Canada leading up to shooting
ZitatA counterterrorism source tells Fox News that there was a spike in Islamic State-related online chatter focusing on Canada in the days leading up to the shooting Wednesday in the capital of Ottawa.
Multiple gunmen stormed the Canadian Parliament complex on Wednesday, shooting at least one soldier and spraying as many as 30 shots inside the government building. No one has yet claimed responsibility for the shooting.
But the counterterrorism source said there was an increase in chatter in the five days leading up to the attack, focusing on Canada's decision to join the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS -- including threats that the "day of reckoning" is coming.
ISIS followers also have taken to Twitter to comment on the Canada shooting.
One translated tweet provided to Fox News said: "soldiers of #Islamic_state who are everywhere around the globe declared war on the coalition countries"
I wonder how the Canadian authorities will treat this crime since it does seem to be connected with Islam. The reason I bring this up is because of "hate crime" legislation which the Liberals have forced down our throats both here in the US and to an even greater extent in Canada. Such legislation is intended to judge the thinking of an actor even more than his act. Moreover it is selectively applied to protect favored groups (blacks and other minorities, women, homosexuals, etc.). However when it comes to judging the motivation of Islamists acting in the spirit of Jihad, the authorities somehow haven't got a clue. It will be interesting to see how the Canadians treat this event when it comes to explaining how it occurred and what it all meant, because, and this my be hard to believe, our neighbors to the North are even more far gone into Political Correctness than we are.

Case in point: Bambi, in speaking of this terrible event, called it an act of "senseless violence". What utter nonsense. It was quite purposeful and anything but senseless. Still people like Bambi continually make such absurd claims as if pretending something is what it isn't will make it so.
