Why this blog?
Until this moment
I have been forced
to listen while media
and politicians alike
have told me
"what Canadians think".
In all that time they
never once asked.
This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."

One down, 17 to go.
I am convinced that these muslim whacks all want to die violent deaths .... can't wait .... it's probably the drab violent horrid restrictive lives they are forced to lead that makes them all prefer death. What else could it be?
He won't be missed by real human beings.
Exactly.
I wonder if Shiny Pony has figured out the root causes yet?
Convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 7 years, probably less credit for time in remand. Out in 2011 and possibly killed in Syria in 2013. Boy, do we ever need truth in sentencing!
Two years for plotting to blow up parliament - he should have got the Guy Fawkes treatment. He was also, no doubt, fighting in one of the groups Obama is now arming. Maybe it is time to press for the extradition of Obama and try him under Canadian law for aiding and abetting the enemy?
So the gun smuggler for the Toronto 18, upon being released from jail, went directly from attempting to fight jihad in Canada to doing so in Syria.
No surprise really, as dying in the way of jihad is the guaranteed method to paradise bypassing the uncertainty of judgement day, as per the Koran.
Clearly, Mo mastered the psychology of being a war lord in motivating adherents.
As this is the Tor. Star, it tries to blame this jihadi's volunteering for jihad in Syria on the lack of "rehabilitation" programs in prison.
Such programs are notoriously lacking in success. As under Islamist ideology dying in jihad is the pinnacle of a "moral" act.
Thus as long as he remains committed to the direction found in his religious/political texts, there is no possible motivation to do otherwise.
This is unlike a normal criminal who commits an act he knows or believes to be
wrong but does it anyway.
Thus he might be rehabilitated by way of a stronger conscience or self-control that directs him to do right instead of wrong.
Under a more logical prosecution policy the terrorists should have been convicted of High Treason and sentenced to life, which is the mandatory minimum.
Though, the old punishment of hanging had more of a public condemnation aspect to it.
Though such a charge would admit that a war (Islamic jihad) has been declared against the Canadian state, it's people and way of life, collectively referred to as the Kuffar.
(As the conspirators claim to be operating on behalf of their Islamic "nation" or ummah, that would have to be recognized as a nation, though not technically a nation-state.)
No Western government is going there. No admission of this being a long war or really a continuation of a 1400 year old one, in this the 3rd jihad.
Defending Western Civilization philosophically doesn't have the cache´ these days with the government that it formerly did.
glock rehabilitation works for me!!
Canadians are as stupid as the rest of the world. we seem to be unable to recognize that the followers of islam are our enemies and the enemy of all non-muslims world wide.
The moonbat who wrote the line about "lack of rehabilitation programs in prison" for islamofascists should be sent to live with a group of Al Qaeda fighters for 6 months. If they're still alive after that time period, they may have a different opinion regarding the rehabilitation potential of what are completely deranged individuals.
While it's very satisfying to see these individuals killed off in Syria, or whatever hellhole they're attempting to make much worse, these individuals do have a use. They are biologically human and have numerous organs which can be put to far better use than the islamofascists currently use them for. Keeping them in prison forever is the only thing that will ensure they don't blow themselves up in a crowd of people. So, here's my proposal for a win-win situation.
The islamofascist is relieved of transplantable organs (assuming he doesn't have HepC or HIV) and these are transplanted into people who need them far more than he does. Then, to give him a proper sendoff, his remaining parts will have a bomb vest attached and it will be detonated under remote control in a simulated store full of clothing mannequins. Thus, he gets to have his fantasy sendoff. All in all a far more financially sound plan that keeping such individuals in jail forever. If Canada is too squeamish to appropriately utilize their resources of islamic lunatics, then I'm sure the Chicoms would be quite happy to accept such a walking bundle of spare parts as organ donors are in equally short supply in China as in Canada.
Wonder what it's going to actually take for there to be an actual crackdown on terrorist scum.
Lead therapy, via bullet, is the ony sure cure.
So one of The Broad Strata Gang bites it. Which one was he/she? That young and vibrant Swedish cross-dresser, the middle-aged Mennonite Missionary, or the old cowboy from Grand Prairie.
One down, seventeen to go.
And these moonbats want to let Omar Khadr out of prison?
Whoa, whoa - "convicted for his involvement in the 2006 terrorism plot to blow up Toronto and area targets" AND "After his release in 2011" - these two statements are not correlational in any functioning civil society.
I'm elated this sociopath has voluntarily deported himself and committed martyr-cide, completing the sentence the Canadian justice system should have rendered - but who in the Fxxk is at the helm of this nation when we allow convicted terrorists to walk loose after a 5 year stay in club fed??? This BTW, is the same state which has terrorized a Canadian family for 7 years; incarcerating the father, indicting the mother, shutting down the family business and now attempting to steal all they own - because of an expired licence -
http://www.brucemontague.ca/html/0460.html
We are doomed as a culture and a nation with the current jurocrats/kleptocrats at the controls.
Wipe and flush
Of course Canada is used as a launching pad, we have a supreme example in the Khadr Klan, they used this country as a safe haven for birthing then taking them off to the ME where they were given training in terrorism. Now it's our fault one of them got caught after killing our allied soldier/medic and the big story is he was under 16 years old and should be coddled as a "child Soldier".
That we have a pack of legals going to bat for Omar Khadr's release is very concerning. His whole family should be shipped out for treason, not allowed to live in the comfort security of Canada and at our expense. They are not employable but they partake of our health care,education, and welfare. We can brace ourselves for Khadr's legals to start suing us for millions.
Please, no more immigration from countries that preach, live and proliferate terrorism around the world.
Arrested in 2006 and released in 2011. That is about 5 years. Conviction was in 2009. Double time for time served prior to conviction means he served entire sentence.
Article says he was denied parol because of his continuing views.
Problem was the penal system in this case.
Problem was that the penal system was even used.
These guys were really enemy combatants without uniforms. The rules of war dictate how such enemies are to be dealt with.
Wow, that weak sentence sure increased his rehabilitation rate!
2 questions that every journalist in the country should be asking, but none will except maybe Sun News.
1) How many of the other Toronto 18 managed to fool the parole board and get out on parole?
2) Where are they?
Sun TV had the NDP MP from TO on the other night who basically said Canadians were naïve to the extreme. A Muslim himself he stated once again that Islam in Canada is dominated by Jihadist terrorists. He again called on Canadian Muslims to publically decry the actions of terrorist within Canada and abroad. The fact this does not happen should be a wakeup call for all Canadians.
Can Purdy see the dimples on the corpse?
"The government says we have rehabilitation and de-radicalization programs. Really? That’s news to us,” he said."
Yeah,it's news to me,too. Why do we bother?
We have enough home grown criminals that we have to fruitlessly try to rehabilitate,the only thing these Jihadists deserve is deportation back to their beloved Muslim shithole.
Given the dismal rehab record Corrections Canada has with ordinary home grown criminals,what realistic chance is there with religious fanatics who've been taught to believe we are sub-humans,since day one?
Like gord said....
Terrorists killing fascists. Why do we want to get involved over there again?
Sorry Mr. Dirie made the decisions he did, that's the real tragedy. He was dead long ago when he made the choices he made.
Good riddance to the man he became.
Yeah well, Syria has a direct parallel to Viet Nam....anyone who thinks they understand it has not been properly briefed......
Shiny Pony: "he was excluded by not just Canada but Syria as well" in 5, 4, 3...
Please, can we charter a ship or planes for as many as want to go fight in Syria?
Just make sure their passport and citizenship is revoked when the board.
Syria continues its record as a universal disposal mechanism.
It's 2016 already? /sarc off
One less Canadian of convenience . Next?
Perfect comment!
However, 18 is only a beginning in Kenya, Pakistan, Syria, Iran, and any other terrorist developing nation.
Oh, wait a minute....that brings us back to, wait for it....Canada and the United States of America.
That's right. I said it!
