Soldier shot at Canadian War Memorial!

[SharonMe]

Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers was given an extended standing ovation this morning by Parliament.

I cried watching that.
He is a true Canadian hero. Humble and courageous.

[SharonMe]

Yep. Just the type we'd revoke a passport from so that is allowed to terrorize Canadians instead of heading overseas to join Isis where he could die playing soldier.

Yeah but if they don't die they come back trained. They could also come back with a new identity. I guess CSIS feels it's a case of the devil you know. He wasn't on the list of watched radicalized people though. He was waiting to get a passport to go to Syria according to his mother.

Hmmm not sure, they probably do some kind of lottery to make it fair?

Not wanting to go completely off topic but I am disgusted with some local candidates for city council using this as a campaign opportunity

Do you mean the Silver Cross Mother? She's chosen by the Legion.

Anyone can can come back trained and they're likely as good as any at changing identities, but passports are much more difficult to fake, and once flagged, they won't be returning. And maybe we'll get lucky and they'll die over there instead of taking a life here. We hope.

I hope this doesn't offend anyone. I'm saddened over the loss of our soldiers in Quebec and Ottawa and deeply concerned over the seriousness of the situation. I'm also sincerely glad that our P.M. and M.P.s are safe. But this headline made me laugh out loud: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/...ticle21278580/

I've reported many fake passport/ID making sites who have been spamming their "products' on SC for the past year or so.
