Is this how things work in Canada? Is this because our Conservative govt. decided to join itself at the hips with Obama and agree to give logistics and financial support to the Syrian "opposition" in the guise of helping displaced Syrians? Bad foreign policy decisions have consequences. In the case of Syria, because the Canadian government took sides in the Syrian conflict, the side of the "opposition" .... the jihadis lurking around in Canada thought they had full approval from the Canadian govt. to go on killing sprees in a foreign country. Canada now has no recourse but to accept these killers back into the country because they are Canadian citizens. One of the Harper govt's worst foreign policy decisions has been its stance on Syria. A negative action, always has several more negative reactions. Libya was not enough of a lesson learnt for Harper and his Cons.

"Parents have radicalized children, husbands have radicalized wives (and some wives have radicalized or supported their husbands," the study's authors contend, "and siblings have radicalized each other."
Indeed, according to one assessment cited by the Canadian Broadcasting Company (CBC), "with the exception of the United States, there are more terrorist groups active in Canada today than in any other country in the world." And while most of their activity is based abroad, a study published earlier this year by the International Institute for Counterterrorism (IIC) shows that 25 individuals have developed or been involved in four plots against Canadian targets since 2006. Of these, eight were Canadian born; three were converts to Islam; and 20 – nearly all – were between the ages of 18 and 35. Most were affiliated with al-Qaida. .......
