    Default Ongoing attack on Canadian parliament buildings

    My sympathy and prayers go out to the Canadian people, the family of those who have been shot and I hope any of our Canadian members are ok, during this ongoing incident in Ottawa.

    For those that don't know there is an ongoing terrorist attack on the Canadian parliament building after shots were fired at the nearby War Memorial and armed men stormed the parliament building.

    Terrible incident.

    Some incredible footage on the BBC of armed police engaging one of the gunmen - scary situation.

    Likely to me a muslim response to Canada's plans to join the US-led campaign of air strikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq.

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    That is the gist of the speculation but its too early to say clearly but apparently there was an incident two days ago where a convert used his car as a weapon against soldiers in Canada - no mention of that in our news, that I can recall.

    Latest news is that three gunman are involved at various locations in downtown Ottawa. It is being reported there could be as many as three gunman involved. If true it appears that this may be a coordinated attack. One witness called Alain described witnessing a single gunman pulling up out front of the parliament building in a red car. He then exited the vehicle with a 'long gun' and then he ran into the building through the main entrance and began shooting. He also reported that guards at this location are routinely unarmed. One gunman has been shot and killed within the parliament building by head of security, the sergeant at arms.
