And this.
All this reminds me the folks at K Division RCMP media @RCMPAlberta never got back to me on what happened with that INSET internal review of the man who attacked a police officer in Edmonton and tried to run ppl down… I'll call back tomorrow.

I wonder if his name starts with an M? Likely because it sounds like he blew himself up.
Merely a coincidence. He was in fact loudly proclaiming that he was just on his way to Allahs Snackbar when it happened.
M? McPherson? MacKenzie? Surely you’re not suggesting it was one of MY family,Morris?
The police are being suspiciously quiet on telling us the identity of the person, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
M for Meno Nite; Always those moderate menonites….
Doubtless this was a right-wing extremist, racist, homophobic, misogynist, white-supremacist and his intended act of terrorism was entirely due to Trump’s inflammatory rhetoric.
Dirtman,absolutely! You’ve hit the proverbial nail right on the head!
Not a national security threat. Other than that, police know nothing…
“police know nothing”
RCMP – business as usual
Who could have guessed the ‘Dudley Do Right’ cartoons of nearly a half century ago would have such a profound impact on the RCMP of today?

Double plus thumbs up
I for one feel completely reassured by their reassuring reassurances.
Hurry PM Sox! There is not time to waste! Hurry! You need to denounce any and all backlash by whitey Canadians onto the noble, wonderful, religion of Islam. Express your disgust at anyone connecting this ‘science experiment’ with radical Islam. Call for Peace and calm among the racist conservative voter-types.
Oh, I think that PM McTurd was taking selfy with a returned ISIS terrorist, and his cell phone triggered thee explosion!!!!
if the ONLY thing they know, is that it’s not a national security threat; they’re lying.
it’s the same as if they’d said “nothing to do with Catholicism”.
“…police wearing flak jackets entered the building with large guns drawn.”
Seriously? 155mm howitzers???
The lack of a name for the deceased is a dead giveaway. No reference to 72 virgins being satisfied either.
I agree. Our society is now at the being lied to stage.
The government knows best, what you need to know. Move along, nothing to see here. You are incapable of “processing” the details of this case. You are untrained in these matters, whereas government officials are all experts.
I thought the Amish didn’t want anything to do with such mechanical devices.
“Tannerite cannot be set off by fire, an electronic fuse, dynamite fuse, or hitting it with a baseball bat. Tannerite requires a large caliber bullet traveling at speeds of greater than 2,000 feet per second to detonate. Even slower bullets such as the legendary .45 ACP will not set off Tannerite”

Investigate a botched terror plot?
The RCMP are too busy helping Andy Scheer secure his dominion of the federal Tories and an easy victory for the Tapette in 2019.
” It is impossible to know the motivation for this desperate action. ”
Of course it is. Only Justin knows why. Why are you doing this to Canada Justin?
Perhaps the RCMP are
a) having trouble identifying the dead person
b) having trouble finding next of kin.
c) Looking for an excuse … er, clue.
The authorities say charges may be laid. Surely charges were already laid – and detonated.
Robert…. thanks for the yuk.
BLACKBIRD, when they do finally release his name, the next logical step will be to investigate if any pictures of him posing with our illustrious PM exist.
Or if Omar Khadr bought the tannerite with some cash he had laying around. Perhaps Omar even built the device.
TWO bombs is a tactical ploy. The “own goal” seems pretty normal as well.
Why two bombs? The Irish may say; “T’ be sure, t’ be sure”, however, the more detailed answer is that the initial (smaller) one is to draw in “first-responders” and the bomb squad tech types. The second bomb is to kill or maim these folks. Work out why at your leisure.
LOL a tannerite bomb? That seems pretty stupid.
Perhaps stupid but the material is easy to acquire.
You Do know that Nov. 5th is Guy Fawkes day, right?

Ok… but this happened on the 6th?…
Heh…nobody said he was a bright child.
It was a daylight savings time problem :^)
Perhaps the Tannerite was sold to the Mennonite by an RCMP sting operation as it seems that it’s either a sting or premature self-detonation that gets them caught.
Remember: if your library books are overdue, blowing up the library does not get you off the hook.
Actually that is the high school I went to. We once got the morning off after two clowns phoned in a bomb threat to the school, because they wanted to stay home and watch some soccer game on TV. The authorities were not impressed.
Obviously it’s the “Sons of Freedom” coming back to the party.
Tannerite is readily available. Might be some knob who uses it for target practice thrills. That’s about all it’s good for. You set up a vessel of it, shoot it and it explodes. Can’t imagine it’s good for anything.
Never could figure out how it ever was approved for sale in Canada.
Might be a non story….
CAPTCHA…..4 pages of bridges, hydrants….blah blah. Jebus give me strength
Mercedes Stephenson now with Glowball? Working the police beat in Sherwood Park AB?
Any bets that the Marlboro Man, sometimes known as Prinz Dummkopf, will slither out of giving a proper answer if this matter is ever brought up in Question Period in the House?
I think we all know the answer to that, don’t we? The real question is how he’s going to push the blame onto Harper.
Hell no everybody knows that Mike Harris did it!
Blowing a beaver dam with tannerite.

Justin Trudeau on hearing the news …..
If the man was brown he was simply transporting fireworks for a belated Guy Fawkes celebration. My heart goes out to him and his family.
If he was white it is yet more proof white men are the real terrorists.
The cops say the explosives were tannerite? Tannerite supposedly needs the impact of a bullet travelling at high speed to ignite it. The cops found the suspect after the first explosion. Maybe he fired a bullet into his first explosive?
so what caused the second explosion?
Story does not make sense. Media cannot put 2+2 together.
Meanwhile the liberal cabinet discussed the matter:
Catherine McKenna mobilizing a team to assess the CO2 production from the explosions.
Bill Blair will investigate banning all bullets.
Ralph Goodale will look at banning tannerite.
Gerald Butts will spend time explaining what a parking garage is to Justin.
That is an accurate description of their intelligence.
It’s those racist white nationalists again!
A day later and they still haven’t released the Muslim guy’s name. Does it take that long to invent a fake psychiatric history file? Don’t they have blanks prepared? Just fill in the name and voila – no terrorist incident.
You would be hard pressed to find any handgun or handgun ammo that will support 2000 fps.
The only thing I can think of is an AR-15 pistol.
Still no name, but they assure us that he had no ties to any ideology.
