Possible terrorist incident in Canada

Only seeing this now but seems like a possible terrorist attack in Canada that could have ended a hell of a lot worse.

I suppose these are such a regular thing now that we are hearing about it less and less. Confirmed that the driver had an ISIS flag in the car also. Sad times.

I was in Canada when that happened, there was also a plot to attack the CN Tower in Toronto uncovered. Edmonton is a quiet Canadian city, no history of ethnic conflicts etc.

Could happen in Dublin so easily really. Deluded to think otherwise

I guess that some are under the incorrect assumption that, when you elect a Cuck in Chief that is Merlel-esque in his embrace of Islam and you have a legislature that's busy passing bills to criminalize any critisism of the religion of peace, that you should be exempt from the trucks of peace because you have buried your head in the sand.

It's really slipping down the list of what's considered news now.

U-Haul won't be too pleased.

Not even reported on sky news for instance

Also today, reports of apparent attack at Marseille train station this evening. Man shouting allahu akbar kills one and possibly second person and injures others before being shot by French soldiers.

Really is true that these are becoming so common that they are non stories

The Express and the Mirror....if these are the only ones reporting on the less damaging attacks, people won't touch them, so it might as well not be reported. People should know about it, though.

Maybe we should be reporting these attacks less. Reporting them only gives the attackers the attention they want.

Two fatalities, the Mayor of Marseille said it could have been much higher.

update: Two women were confirmed as the victims, talk about a cowardly attack.
Earlier this month 4 American college students were attacked with acid at the same train station in Marseille.

Your ears must be filling up with sand.

How could this have possibly happened? I thought Canada was this multicultural utopia that discovered a super-secret method of integrating Muslim refugees (except for the Toronto 18, of course) that Europe has failed to discover and that Canada is immune to Islamic terrorism?
