The Winnipeg Free Press gives a half of the story.
They give the guys name without mentioning that it appears, at least so far, to be a Muslim name in origin from West Africa
And they mention that he was charged for possession of a weapon but they do not say what kind.
It seems to me that trying to run people over with a fire truck and having a weapon on you, speaks to jihadi intentions. Especially as its on the same day as TWO other jihad attacks. And when the OIC is demanding anti-blasphemy laws and using the Norwegian Koran-B-que as an excuse for it.
Thanks to @AmyMek for finding this information.
