I didn’t even know Canada had their own Tea Party.
Canadian police say they have arrested two men and thwarted a plot to carry out a major terrorist attack on a Via passenger train in the Greater Toronto Area.
In a press conference that followed an exclusive report by CBC’s Greg Weston, police named the two accused as Chiheb Esseghaier, 30, of Montreal, and Raed Jaser, 35, from Toronto. They have been charged with conspiracy to carry out a terrorist attack and “conspiring to murder persons unknown for the benefit of, at the direction of, or in association with a terrorist group…”
The RCMP accused the two men of conspiring to commit an “al-Qaeda-supported” attack.
Police said the two accused were getting “direction and guidance” from al-Qaeda elements in Iran.
So? That doesn’t have anything to do with anything. Can you prove they weren’t radicalized by Tim Hortons and Trailer Park Boys? Can you prove it wasn’t an act of much-deserved retaliation against Ed the Sock? Can you prove Canadians didn’t bring this on themselves? Can you?
These men’s religion has nothing to do with it, so just shut up, racists.
Well, at least Amanda Palmer has somebody else to write about now…
