I will bet my life, within 30 days Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper will introduce Australian style "Anti-Terrorism" legislation.
1194 2014-10-22 by [deleted]
Hell, I won't be surprised if he brings it up by the end of the day.
Edit: Here is Prime Minister Harper's speech.
But let there be no misunderstanding, we will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated. In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts, and those of our national security agencies, to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep Canada safe here at home, just as it will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts to work with our allies around the world and fight against the terrorist organizations who brutalize those in other countries with the hope of bringing their savagery to our shores -- they will have no safe haven.
Edit 2 (Oct 23): Well, there you have it folks. 30 days? Nope, 24 fucking hours. To my fellow Canadians, please make your voices heard and fight back against this tyranny, lest we become one more militarized nation ruled by fear.

How is the fact that they raised the terror alert level last month at all evidence of a false-flag? They got intel an attack might happen, and wow, holy shit, it happened!
9 DumbledoreSays 2014-10-22
It is all part of the psyop. Get the masses on edge by raising the terror alert threat, then hit them with the hoax. By forewarning them you lead the masses to put even more trust in their government to 'protect' them. Works every time.

The entire western world needs these draconian laws to protect the bankers that own and control nearly everything.

Well guess what.. Someone might want to change that now. Ideas and speech considered radical or threatening by the State will be deemed criminal so we can stop this threat before it matures.

It's true that not all radicalism is equal, but all types of radicalism share the quality of being radical. I don't think radical feminists and radical islamists are really very alike at all but categories keep things tidy so of course they'll get thrown under the same broad umbrella.

The Harper government has a history of writing laws that violate the constitution in some way in Canada mainly due to rushing laws through.
As well, if they were to introduce one, it may be harder as it wouldn't be able to infringe on someone's right to privacy through the Privacy Act.

In an unpopular move, Canada's Parliament had recently done its bit for Empire when it voted to participate in Washington's 'Operation Inherent resolve' against ISIS in Syria/Iraq. Draconian legislation is currently on the cards, including a bill that will retrospectively permit Canadian intelligence agencies to circumvent laws that prevent them from spying on Canadians - get this - by "allowing foreign agencies, including those of the United States, to do it for them."

It's going to be a redo of the same bill they've been trying to ram through for years, except this time instead of an idiot calling us all child pornographers, he can point to the dead "terrorist" instead.
He doesn't need anything to pass it, just justification so people will go along with it enough.
31 johnysmote 2014-10-22
If you look closely at the existing documents in Canada we have no rights or protections from the state. The USA has protections that are still being used to protect innocent citizens but Canada's charter is weak as fuck and although you are probably right about them introducing new legislation...we Canadians don't have any protections in place right now as it is! I would think it would be a smart option for Harper to say that they are going to do nothing in way of reactive legislation as a way of ingratiating himself to the freedom loving Canadians...simply because it is not needed to implement the NWO in Canada.
19 [deleted] 2014-10-22
I agree, you're right in principle, but there's no way Harper isn't going to exploit the situation for political gain with an election coming next year. I was reading the comments on the front page post and people are foaming at the mouth. If you really look at the situation, the US didn't need to pass the Patriot Act or NDAA either. Those pieces of legislation are unconstitutional to the core, but the idea is to strip our right while making it appear legal and to be 'for our protection.' For now, it's easier to make us want their 'protection' than it is to force it on us.
6 johnysmote 2014-10-22
Good point. It's not good enough to simply control us, they need us to want them to control us. And a brand new anti-terror bill is just what is called for in this situation.

-1 Alacritous 2014-10-22
Read your first reference there. There's a lot of room there for an unscrupulous person to argue.
The argument has always been that a government would not willfully overstep its bounds and would be reigned in by the supreme court if it did. What we're facing with the Harper government is a government that is straining at its bounds and seeking any way to break them. See FIPA and how they initiated it as a trade agreement which avoids parliamentary scrutiny and is virtually immune to court oversight.

0 johnysmote 2014-10-22
It is worded in a way that allow the authorities to act within the charter while still completely violating the rights of Canadian citizens...you even quoted it yourself...except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice...well the words fundamental justice are the "weasel words"...words that can be redefined outside of that document to mean whatever the authorities want them to mean....what I am guessing you are speaking from is the fact that the supreme court of Canada HAS done us justice in the past and seemingly continues to do so today...the supreme court has made mostly the right choices in regards to freedoms and continues to ensure our privacy and freedom...but for how long...Harper tried to get his patsy Marc Nadon (http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/marc-nadon-s-failed-journey-to-the-supreme-court-1.2636403) into the supreme court, and thank god for that failure, otherwise that branch of our government would be well on it's way to enforcing the NWO agenda.
Have patience and take 10 minutes to watch this video...it is seemingly unrelated but it is totally applicable to the weakness of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (http://youtu.be/X7_0HlCwb8A)..the law of trespass has been suspended and the charter does not protect us because of it.

Just saw/heard the speech, and just as expected - Harper in one breath says that we dont know everything and we will find out more in the coming days, but links the two events together (a soldier was struck by car in Quebec two days ago and today's event) and ISIL is involved. In addition, he has said that we will need to pass legislation and provide more resources to departments such as CSIS and RCMP.
Right out of the neocon playbook.

Don't hold your breath. Our municipal election is today and we have 7 candidates running.
Starting from right to left we have Gord Steeves who fumbled out of the gate during his campaign and pushed a lot of his supporters to Brian Bowman. Bowman is claimed to be a neo-con but loves high taxation, calling for a 4% municipal sales tax. Him and Judy Wasylycia-leis are considered neck in neck. Judy is nothing new, another corrupt politician being backed by big business and our previous corrupt mayor, Sam Katz.
The two other importants are Mitch Fillion, the owner of an escort service, and Robert-Falcon Ouellette. Mitch ran because he loves Winnipeg and doesn't want to see another lawyer (Bowman) or corrupted politician (Judy) get in. He did have a very interesting opening statement in last weeks debate which /r/conspiracy would find curious.
Robert-Falcon however is amazing and likely our only hope. If he doesn't get in this election he will find his way in that position at some point. He is aboriginal and was raised on a reserve. Persevering through social obstacles and prejudice he served for 18 years in the military. While completing two master degrees in education and music and a doctorate in anthropology. Winnipeg is a city is shambles with many economic and social issues but it has amazing potential. While i feel that anyone can tackle economic issues it really takes someone with ambition, first hand experience, and compassion to solve our social issues.
2 Haxford 2014-10-22
Besides the election Winnipeg is still a great place. An amazing art scene that is unparalleled, terrific cultural diversity, and from what i hear from out-of-towners we have a very beautiful population with one of the highest hot people ratios.

this seems like a psychological operation against soldiers and that it's intended to prompt soldier worship.
unarmed soldier victim killed in ceremonial dress at the grave of the unknown soldier. Bad guy is killed by hero soldier. It's ritualistic, almost.
And a huge circlejerk around the militaristic propaganda which specifically focuses on not naming the perpetrator- but rather honoring the heroes.
Even though you know in the next few days, they will put together a bio of the shooter which either depicts him as mentally ill (which he of course is) or, more likely, as a lonewolf loser islamic convert (probably a youtube rapper) who "wanted to join ISIS".

There's a universal controversy surrounding the issue of the authority, and if there's a devil, he wants it all through any means whether by hook or by crook or by fear.
Where fear and insecurity are used to leverage power and authority - there's a devil in the details.
5 JohnStamosEnoughSaid 2014-10-22
And long guns soon as i heard long gun i started thinking here we go again. Bet this guy under surveilance already was not and could never be a legal licensed owner plus hes a convicted drug criminal. This gun was illegal but our legal law abiding owners will onve again be put back under scrutiny. If anything if anything it should be a case for proper concealed handgun laws for the people who are qualified and trained after all this act was stopped by a gun.
2 DrScrubbington 2014-10-22
Honestly I'm surprised the Harper government didn't do anything after the shooting in Moncton... 3 RCMP dead and a fair size city on lockdown for a whole day and no peeps from the government about new laws... I guess they were "waiting" for this shooting.
It's going to be about rifles, which are pretty much the only firearm that's useful in the hands of a civilian against militarized police / the actual military. They don't give a shit about the handguns that are actually used to murder people.
1 JohnStamosEnoughSaid 2014-10-22
Nobody i know ever talks about using them for anything but hunting and target. Im pretty sure they will have a very hard time getting the public to believe more laws for guns when this gun was illegal to begin with a new law wouldve done nothing.
2 DrScrubbington 2014-10-22
The suspicious thing is that CBC was only playing soundbites from people who are "terrified" about the shootings, even though everyone I work with (and I work with a very broad spectrum of Canadian society) thinks that it's tragic, but they just don't want to see more terror legislation.
1 JohnStamosEnoughSaid 2014-10-22
Its propaganga and nobody i know buys it at all even the non gun owners agree no new laws would stop this.

But Canada has been behaving differently.
The top post in that thread and sweeping the news stories is about the bad ass sargeant at arms who gunned down the shooter. And the picture of the soldier who was shot standing at his post.
Their news held back on speculation.
They did also list his offenses including minor drug charges as though they were a clear indicator.
They also pointed out that the Canadian government was already keeping an eye on him.
They also called him a terrorist.
Its close, but I think Canada is going to be smarter about this than we were. I'll take your bet.

Yeah. I am afraid that this is going to happen. Governments only do nothing or over react. I am sure that having a pearl harbor moment was seen as an absolute blessing to Harper and his government, to push a more restrictive agenda and erode freedoms.
But that said, this isn't exactly new for Canada. The original Trudeau in the FLQ crisis suspended everyone's rights across the country for a while. The only truly amazing thing about that is that he actually gave them back afterwards.
Canada doesn't offer freedom - we offer peace, order and good government. So I guess Harper is kinda focused on one out of the three.
And if I were one of the conspiracy minded - I couldn't help but wonder at the timing of this.

The same thing happens after national disasters and terrorist attacks, people will blame the government for not doing more to prevent it.

I'm still alive and well. If memory serves me correctly, Harper was proposing new legislation less than 24 hours later.
