The guard at the Cenotaph today was from the Argyles out of Hamilton, Ont. As suspected, a reservist.

I don’t know if this counts as a confirmation.
Condolences to family of the soldier killed, & prayers for the Parliamentary guard wounded. Canada will not be terrorized or intimidated.

Apparently on parliament hill. Multiple shots. Swat team on parliament hill. Shooter still on the loose
I wonder what “the root cause” of this was?
So the religion of peace strikes again.
On going commentary from Sun TV.
Will the MSM and “root causes” politicians now get that we are at war with Islam? I doubt it.
And if we had concealed carry, maybe we would just have a dead shooter.
The shooter had dark cury hair according to the CBC who were quoting a witness. Ya think it was a Muslim?
opps, a typo, should be ‘curly’
I’m glad we have PMSH in charge. He’s the leader who WILL take this seriously.
Fill in the blank excercise:
The only good Muslim is a ________ one.
Rather Islam is at war with us; we now have to take up the challenge.
Well, let’s not all rush to judgement shall we? The shooter is probably an angry white Christian Conservative anti-abortion protester. From Alberta. Who hunts. And drives a pickup truck. And eats popcorn.
Or Amish.
Maybe a Presbyterian
I wonder if he’s one of the 90 being monitored by CSIS?
Don’t worry, Justin will have discuss root causes with him and he’ll come out singing kumbaya.
From an email I sent to a friend October 8:
“The mind boggles; they are living in a dreamworld (‘the fairytale-castle one inside your head’ as I like to say), completely unaware of how they are being manipulated and how it affects their beliefs and thus their motivations. That’s how, at the far end of the ignorati spectrum, you get f*ckups in the West converting to Islam and going to help the bad guys.”
Sometimes being right is really, really painful. 🙁
I’ll bet he planned to vote for the shiny poney in 2015
This is so heartbreaking to see. CBC showed footage of the first responders administering CPR to the victim. Let’s us pray that he/she recovers.
Let Freedom Ring! It’s time to fly our flag proudly and let the islamfascist pigs that we will not be intimidated. This is OUR country and YOU don’t belong here.
Militant Orthodox Pastafarian
Listening to the quivering voices of the CBC reporters on the hill and inside. They got a dose of reality. Just a fraction of the fear that Israeli citizens live with daily as rockets rain down. I doubt that it will penetrate past their Liberal cognitive dissonance impairment.
Enjoying our Muslims are we? Small price to pay for the honor of having Islam in our midst isn’t it?
It’s being reported one “assailant” has been killed but still not clear if there’s another shooter still on the loose on the Hill, situation not yet contained…… Ottawa city Hall is also on lock down.
Please God you know I don’t ask much, actually I don’t believe in you at all, but make the shooter a Presbyterian, beer league hockey playing, 42 year old, 4th generation waterfowl hunting, self employed electrician named Mark McDonald from Cambridge .
Robert of Ottawa said: “Rather Islam is at war with us; we now have to take up the challenge.”
Robert, how hurtful of you to make such an assertion. Simply because these brave freedom fighters have been ambushing Western soldiers since the Beirut Marine Barracks bombing in 1983 does not mean its a “war”. We simply don’t understand the root causes of their discontent.
If we just open our hearts, and our wallets, I’m sure the Liberal Party of Canada can come up with a social program that will make unpleasantness like today’s unfortunate occurrence a thing of the past. Then we can all sing Kumbaya around the Eternal Flame on Parliament Hill and bask in our loving inclusiveness.
Until the money finally runs out and the gas company shuts it off.
And may I add, that while I sincerely hope that the cops nail this Amish Presbyterian before he shoots anybody else, I also sincerely hope there’s a whole bunch of Liberal/NDP MPs and media apparatchiks hiding under their desks in abject f-ing pants-wetting terror this morning.
Welcome to the Parliament Hill Gun Free Zone, liberals. You sowed the wind, now reap the whirlwind.
Via Kate’s link to Peter’s page, Bob Zimmer MP tweet claims shooter killed. Let’s hope it’s so.
phantom says… “probably an angry white Christian Conservative anti-abortion protester.”
sure… probably more of those fanatical, armed amish insurgents.
cbc claiming that everyone in the area is in shock. that, of course, means supporters of justin al-trudeau and uncle tom mulcair.
folks on the right side of the political spectrum have been sounding the alarm about this for years. perhaps justin can do a little more outreach and plead with these folks not to murder more canadians.
this latest attack co-ordinated with the murder of a canadian soldier by a homegrown jihadi just the other day. to co-opt the lunatic left… “you don’t need a weatherman.”
no coincidence here. i’m just waiting to hear about a nail bomb at the yonge bloor subway interchange.
How many political shootings did we have before we enriched our culture with Islam? Thanks Pierre!
Witness described suspect wearing blue and white checkered scarf of Arabic style.
globull is claiming there are multiple shooters so there’s at least one jihadi still on the loose. I’d say this is the opening salvo.
A sterling demonstration of the effectiveness of gun control.
Incidentally, I have two ALERT! emails in my inbox telling all government/Transport Canada employees in Ottawa to stay in their offices.
As this is going on is it fair to ask how many Islamists are flowing off planes to partake of all the freedoms listed in the Trudeau Charter?
According to live CBC right now, shooter is still active and is not contained.
Also according to CBC, today is Caucus Day and all the MPs are on the Hill for their meetings today. So I get my second wish, they’re all “sheltering in place” right now. Aka huddling unarmed and helpless under their desks, waiting to be killed.
Because Canada is a gun free zone my friends. Wonder how long it will take before a Special Deal For MPs Only concealed carry permit is quietly introduced into law?
CTV doesn’t have any information about the shooter, none zero, zip, but they’ve said the word “semi automatic rifle” ten times in the last 5 minutes.
You should hear how stupid Craig Oliver sounds right now.
Second suspect being sought..also wearing headscarf..
Schools in lockdown in core…shots fired just now Majors Hill Park
Diversity is our Strength Diversity is our Strength Diversity is our Strength
Diversity is our Strength Diversity is our Strength Diversity is our Strength
Diversity is our Strength Diversity is our Strength Diversity is our Strength
Oooooooooohhhhhmmmmmmmmmm
What next? An Islamist throwing a hand grenade from the Gallery down into the House? The shooter traversed the Hall past the CPC and NDP caucus rooms. What actual security do we have?
Not as easy to deal with the Muslims and the ME in abstract when they come here. Pull the CF 18’s out of the ME and bring them home. Close the borders to Muslim migration. Let ISIL do what they will. If they win we have an easier target.
Eliminate Multi-Culturalism and the funding that helps these people daily. Be a mature country that has it’s own identity and not that of 100 different countries. For once this country should grow a pair and copy the Australians who are far more pragmatic.
Media in Ottawa reporting now that possibly 2-3 shooters..Sgt. at Arms killed one suspect..
Police and RCMP Swat team have just stormed Chateau Laurier
Queue calls for more gun control in …3…..2….1.. wait for it. It’s a liberal reflex. Won’t matter as to the facts!
How long before this is blamed on the government ending the long gun registry?
Criminal Lunatics kill people, time to disarm law abiding citizens!
I’m sure some bright spark is working on that press release right now.
Lots of lockdowns: I’m with DND in Gatineau across the river and we’re locked down. Apparently Rideau centre and schools close too. Even CFB Halifax is locked down.
I walked by shooting scene at War Memorial..cartridge casing appeared to be large caliber from about 20 ft. away.
possibly .303, also saw 7.62 casing.. unknown if that was ours or the baddies.
Quebec/Ontario bridges about to go into lockdown
And of course the loonies at the CBC comments section are blaming
Harper for “daring” to engage ISIS…..talking about how things
like this “never” happened when we were “peacekeepers”…..
I assume Jonathan Kay will attribute this attack to Sun News’ Ezra Levant.
the Sgt.at arms killing the baddie is a direct link to his historical role in guarding (physically) the sanctity of Parliament.
Nobody knows who did it.
It will be interesting to who it was and if it will become public.
Then again why worry about who did it, as the aspiring airhead will say again, let’s look at the root cause.
The mass media will agree.
Only bloggers can keep it alive and eventually force the truth out.
Wonder where Justin is hiding? No doubt writing his memoirs of the morning and attempting to ameliorate the Muslim angle.
Remember Oklahoma: it was not a person from away. However, let’s assume it is so.
Sure makes the Pony look uber stoopid X10. Time for the CBC, Global, G&M, CTV to throw JT to the wolves. That limp-wristed bastard and his idiotic CF-18 comment. Bah!
Go PMSH!
I’ve been following this on SUN network since it started, CBC were still playing cartoons. Gotta love the National broadcaster. Clicked on the overseas newspapers and the Express had it up on their site before the CBC got onto it or maybe the CBC reporters were too scared to crawl out from under their desks. Just waiting for the likely parties to call for a bigger and better gun registry or complete gun ban, you know it’s coming. Meanwhile I’ll bet the poor CF members on duty at the War Memorial were soft targets as they were probably standing with empty rifles. If this isn’t a wake up call for Canadians I don’t know what is. Our Canadian empathy has allowed the Islamic Camel to enter the country over the last fifty years under the guise of multiculturalism, now we are going to see what terrorism is right here at home. The three reasons that a government exists is to protect the society that elects it, to preserve that society and to propagate the values of that society. Successive Canadian Liberal governments elected by LIV Canadians have eroded the fabric of our society until it is no longer recognizable, maybe the incidents of the last few days will wake Canadians up. We can only hope!
This Yank gives you her sympathy -and also outrage. Why have all the so-called “elites” in the Western world taken stupid pills? It’s like they are determined to hand our freedoms over to a bunch of savages. I feel like we’re being pushed over a cliff to our doom by a ruling class determined to make ordinary citizens pay for whatever sick guilt they feel over past imperialism or racism.
