***I Was just informed that the guard who was shot at the War Memorial has no ammunition in his rifle. He was uniformed, and had a C7 with zero ammunition in it by policy. This thing could have ended much faster if military personnel had actual ammunition in their weapons. To give a person a visible gun with no ammo is the most dangerous thing I can think of. ***

  1. @Everyone….

    Apparently one shooter dead, one of two.

  2. This should create a very strong reaction from the Canadian government, should but probably won’t.

    • BBC witness being interviewed saying shooter looked arabic long hair small beard with rifle driving a dark coloured car.

  3. Sad to hear about this. These are evil dangerous people brainwashed by a backward ideology that has no place in any modern democratic society. Time we started naming the problem instead of dismissing them as the work of a lunatic fringe. The majority of muslims may eventually come to their senses when confronted with the idiocy and dangerous nature of the religion they have been brainwashed to follow and their violent brethren should be harshly dealt with.

  4. There’s only one thing we can be certain about, and that is that this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Islam, and that anyone who says otherwise is a neo-Nazi racist!

      • Just like Adolf Hitler and the Axis Leaders, the Militant Islamists thing they are going to win, ’cause they’re so pure and motivated and we’re so fat, decadent and materialistic. Wrong! They are going to get their asses handed to them because they are inferior and they are losers and everything they think and believe is pure grade-A manure that only an idiot would even listen to…

  5. As an addendum to your ‘no live ammunition’ thing, none of the soldiers on ceremonial duty in the UK at various places have any ammunition in their guns either. So if they were attacked, there’s no way to return fire.

  6. Two terror attacks in two days, is this the beginning of a new phase of the terror war or are they simply hitting before winter limits their hiding places?

  7. The anti gun forces have had power for so long they have created a distrust of any armed person, this is why no ceremonial guard in the west has ammo and why Billy Bob Clinton forbade US soldiers from being issued live ammo unless they were on the firing range. It will take more attacks like this one before they start issuing live ammo to the people who are suppose to protect them.

  8. […]On Wednesday, Tony Zobl, 35, said he witnessed the soldier being gunned down from his fourth-floor window directly above the National War Memorial, a tall granite cenotaph, or empty tomb, with bronze sculptures dedicated to those who died in World War I.

    “I looked out the window and saw a shooter, a man dressed all in black with a kerchief over his nose and mouth and something over his head as well, holding a rifle and shooting an honor guard in front of the cenotaph point-blank, twice,” Zobl told the Canadian Press news agency.

    “The honor guard dropped to the ground, and the shooter kind of raised his arms in triumph holding the rifle.”

    Zobl said the gunman then ran up the street toward Parliament Hill.

  9. CBC Twitter Feed, 5 minutes ago

    Captain Marie-France Poulin, the public affairs officer at CFB Valcartier says military personnel have received the order to not wear their uniform in public places, unless they are on official duty.
    She says this order applies to soldiers across Quebec, but wouldn’t confirm if it applies across Canada.
    Poulin says Valcartier has also tightened security measures at the entrance of the base. A military police unit, that normally patrols the base, will be stationed at the gates permanently. Two security commissionaires are also present.
    Vehicles will have to show identification and could be searched at random. Poulin says she received no indication that the base would be locked down.

    Instead, Captain Marie-France Poulin should be forced to resign and be forbidden from ever donning a uniform again. The Islamic uniform is protected. The Islamic culture is protected. Islamic centers of war preparation, aka mosques and Islamic Centers are protected…ALL AT THE EXPENSE of the Canadian people. One Canadian soldier died today. Two Canadians were wounded. For WHAT? To have someone like “Captain” Marie-France Poulin raise the white flag of surrender?

    It will be interesting to see if the media narrative on today’s events on Parliament Hill shifts to protect Islam as it has in recent weeks…

    CFRA RADIO CANADA: CALLER JAMES HAS SOMETHING TO SAY ABOUT POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IN CANADIAN MEDIA……recorded 10/21/2014

    The audio above mentions recent incidents to which I provide the following links:

    Authorities did not charge the guy. What would happen to a regular fellow who had a hidden handgun?

    CBC: Explosion in Greely, Ont., last week was deliberately set

    Canadians, are you going to put up with this suicidal nonsense?

    • @ yucki

      Not a rhetorical question – I genuinely dont understand why they keep a dangerous bitch in the Knesset (forget her name) an Arab, who is a virulent Jew-hater and who just recently (last week or so) screeched far and wide that “the IDF is worse than the Nazis”? Cannot someone clean up the Knesset? Extraordinary times demand extraordinary means. Israel gets no brownie points for being good and forgiving, au contraire! //end of rant

      http://littlenotesfromparis.blogspot.com.au/2014/10/boo-hoo-palestine.html

  10. Further to what Yucki posted above on “Baby killed as car rams crowd in apparent Jerusalem terror attack”, certainly seems that religious muslim are mowing down victims with their vehicles (as in St. Jean Sur Richelieu 2 days ago, and in London last year), exactly as they were instructed to do by Islamic State spokesman Adnani: “Smash his head with a rock, or slaughter him with a knife, or RUN HIM OVER WITH YOUR CAR, or throw him down from a high place, or choke him, or poison him. I wonder if this Ottawa killer had a huge knife as the others did in order to behead their victims afterwards, just as they did to Lee Rigby.
    (also at http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/186461#.VEf-iZt0yrQ: “A baby girl was killed and eight people were injured Wednesday, after a terrorist hit them with his car outside the Givat Hatachmoshet, Ammunition Hill, Light Rail stop.”)

      • Yes, the original instructions for jihad didn’t come from IS Adnani and all the oh-so-many-others of his subhuman ilk, but from mohammed himself.

  11. Syria conflict: ‘200 air force strikes’ in 36 hours (BBC, Oct 22, 2014)
    http://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-29720384

    “The Syrian military has stepped up air strikes on rebel areas dramatically, carrying out more than 200 in recent days, opposition activists say.

    The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the raids took place mostly in western areas between midnight on Sunday and noon on Tuesday.

    The UK-based group said there were many casualties, but did not give a figure.

    The intensified strikes come as US-led forces continue to bomb Islamic State (IS) militants in Syria and Iraq….”

  12. The shooter was a Canadian convert to Islam

    TORONTO, Oct 22 (Reuters) – Canadian police are investigating a man named as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau as a possible suspect in the shootings around parliament, a source familiar with the matter said on Wednesday.
    Two U.S. officials said that U.S. agencies have been advised that the shooter was a Canadian convert to Islam. One of the officials said that the man was from Quebec. (Additional reporting by Mark Hosenball in Washington; Editing by Chris Reese)

  13. 🙁 @ all our Canadian Friends.

    @ VLAD TEPES and all here: How much you must be tempted to shout it from the roofs: WE TOLD YOU SO, and how much must you probably realise that this is the most unsatisfactory, not to say frustrating, feeling to be entitled to say so.

    I have just woken up to the “news” : first port of call to Vlad Tepes for the REAL information, second port of call our ABC (the Australian equivalent of the BBC and assorted islamophile/ant-west/leftist-taxpayer-funded little helpers of AlJezeera:

    short version of that interview, held at our Parliament house in Canberra by one of our chief “political” correspondents.

    “Since Australia is very similar to Canada, have we strengthened our security around Parliament house?”

    Minister for Justice: “yes we have”

    “but but but would we be prepared for a complete lock-down of parliament house?” (tone suggesting that she did not think so)

    Minister for Justice: “Yes, absolutely”.

    “okay BUT BUT BUT what about the freedom of the people to access….privacy….bla bla bla…”

    Over the past week we just had a huge contrived controversy, because the speaker of the house DARED to suggest that Full Face Coverings should not be allowed to be worn into parliament house….and of course the Jihadists and their enablers won.

  14. (con’t from above) Spencer: The politically correct Ottawa Police Chief seems to have imbibed the lesson well: after every jihad attack, MUSLIMS ARE THE VICTIMS, and need special reassurances. Of course, there should be no “backlash” against any innocent people and almost certainly won’t be, but this endless pandering is grotesque. Who is reassuring non-Muslims about keeping them safe from jihad attacks? Who is calling upon Muslim leaders in Canada or anywhere else to back up their condemnations of jihad terror with real action against it, including programs to teach young Muslims to reject that understanding of Islam? (Thanks to JCD)

  15. USA – Washington – Man jumps White House fence, causes lockdown

    A man jumped the White House fence on Wednesday and was attacked by Secret Service dogs, a Secret Service spokesman said.

    “Dogs got him,” the spokesman said, referring to the intruder.

    Video showed Secret Service agents surrounding the man on the north lawn of the White House, which was put on lockdown.

  16. Regarding the 80 or so Canadians whose passports were revoked, like the 2 jihadi’s who were killed (in St Jean sur Richelieu and Ottawa), Dutch politician GEERT WILDER of the Freedom Party, says (to Michael Coren. Sun News) to let them leave and not let them back, or DETAIN them. He says that the Canadian and Dutch governments are not dealing with the problem as they should be. This is a time of WAR, and there should be one priority, to take care of our people from those who want to kill us. What’s happening in Europe is already happening in Canada. We should be tougher and stricter with our immigration policies. “My party advocates full stop of immigrants from islamic countries. Not that we believe that all muslims are bad people. They are not. But we cannot import people from countries where an ideology is dominat that wants to use violence that has nothing to do with the rule of law of the society….. If we don’t stop the immigration from people from islamic countries, and extradite people and shred them of their nationality if they commit horrible crimes in our own country, then really nothing will be effective. And we have to get rid of the political correctness, all those people and politicians that say that islamic state has nothing to do with islam, it IS islam, the cutting off of heads of people unfortunately is written in the koran, chapter 47, verse 4, says literally that when you meet the unbelievers, smite their necks until you have a bloodbath among them, they are acting according to the koran. We should not accept this in our western societies.”

  17. Turkish woman detained after tweeting picture of herself standing on pages of Quran

    A woman was detained in the Turkish capital Ankara after sharing a photo of her feet standing on pages of the Quran via her Twitter account.

    The Ankara Public Prosecutor’s Office took action against the Twitter account @kedibiti after Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek, who is known as an active Twitter user, filed a complaint about the account, also alleging that it had “insulted the president and the government.”

    Prosecutors discovered that the Twitter account’s owner was a 36-year-old Istanbul resident, identified only as G.Y. The Istanbul Police Department called her to the police station, and she arrived at the station in Istanbul’s Gayrettepe neighborhood, where she reportedly explained that she was an atheist.

    She was released after questioning, but a lawsuit has been opened against her on charges of “triggering hatred in society” and “slandering.”

  18. Here’s part of Justin Trudeau’s speech addressing the Ottawa attack: “To our friends and fellow citizens in the Muslim community, Canadians know acts such as these committed in the name of Islam are an aberration of your faith. Continued mutual cooperation and respect will help prevent the influence of distorted ideological propaganda posing as religion. We will walk forward together, not apart.”

    Wonder which mosque he’ll be visiting next….
