From the Ottawa Citizen:

Police have closed part of an Ottawa street as a tactical team executes a search warrant in the city’s south end.
The tactical officers were joined on Topley Crescent on Friday by members of the police chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosives unit.
Five homes were evacuated between Keys Way and Karsh Drive, and the public was being asked to avoid the area.
Police said the level of risk for this operation was high enough to warrant evacuating the immediate area for the safety of police officers and the community.
A little bit about that neighborhood from Wikipedia
Topley Crescent is near Hunt Club and Conroy roads, in the same neighbourhood where a man was shot twice in the legs Thursday night. Police would not say if the search warrant is related to the shooting or a different investigation.

Israel may significantly expand ground operations in Gaza.

This one is getting interesting, of course if something real nasty is found we will probably never hear about it.
Depends on who finds it.
Almost every Israeli worth his or her salt has military experience. They’re knowledgable and just love to argue strategies and tactics. That’s one thing they have in common.
We’re not talking Shin Bet or Mossad, after all.
Oops, my reply was about what Israelis find on the ground.
As for Ottawa – one of the most beautiful cities anywhere – we’ll learn how Ottawa does Clinton’s Benghazi.
We will find out just how bad things really are after they come to a head.
A “keep-sake” head?
Fox News says there is a smoking gun saying Russia shot down the airliner.

My Russkis told me this morning. Looks real bad.
It is looking so so bad I am thinking about buying a longer range rifle then my 30-30, I doubt if I can still hit at long range but with a little practice I should be able to once again.
You can’t use it when you’re in the plane.
Ottawa South is now 15.3% Muslim, Gott im Himmel.
Hopefully this settles into a routine for Ottawa police. They could do diversity, inclusiveness and outreach to Muslim terrorists MWF, then go back and arrest them for making bombs and biological weapons TT and on weekends, and they’d be batting over .500.
Ezra lifts Nanaimo from its moral sewer, for an afternoon anyway:
