  1. If they are planning something in Canada they are also planning something in the US.

    • Thanks to the warning letter we know why the US Government issued the warning.

  2. When will the stripey-pants diplo set comprehend that you don’t sit around waiting for people to come kill you? It is far more productive to go out and kill them first.

      • I prefer targeted assassinations.People like Nasrallah have outlived their usefulness (if they ever had any).

  3. Ugh I’m ranting but I got the courage to apply for a retail job (Vancouver) and the black clad woman only face showing is doing an application , her husband I guess with the hat takes some distance from me as I apply, then ohh working lady there pages a manager to see us his name is Mohammad.
    Chipotle new hire with a headbag and longer sleeves , no hat like others in uniform.
    More visible, like two niqab regulars pushing a stroller through the mall too.. Ramabombathon starting next week.

    • A dozen years ago I had the impression Vancouver was _way_ ahead of the PC-curve.
      – – Discrimination against heterosexuals by a large [or vocal, domineering] segment of the population, against non-Chinese by another. Smug, insufferable.

      Beautiful place that could be greatly improved by a neutron bomb.
      Now it’s fallen to the Ummah? Better a neutron bomb.

  4. When my husband did a lot of international travel he was part of the STEP program. Not only does it alert about potential terrorist threats world wide but it also alerts about inoculations that need to be up to date in various parts of the world as well as various counter remedies that can be legally carried.
    My husband’s Dr. was very good about this however, it did not prevent him from getting two serious cases of food poisoning.
