Five worst mass murders in modern Canadian history; no Muslims involved

1. Flight 182. An Air India plane is blown up over Ireland, but this is considered a Canadian event because 268 of 329 victims were Canadian citizens. No Muslims involved.

2. Marc Lepine killed 14 women in the Montreal massacre. No Muslims involved.

3. Shell Lake massacre. Disturbed white non-Muslim kills 9 people in Saskatchewan in 1967. No Muslims involved.

4. Giant Mine bombing, 1992. Disgruntled locked-out worker kills 9 replacement workers in bomb attack. No Muslims involved.

5. Shedden massacre, 2006. White bikers kill 8 other white bikers. No Muslims involved.

I bring this up because the Canadian media are descending into an episode of hand-wringing and fear-mongering over the fact that a couple of Canadians were party to a jihadist operation in Algeria. The usual bunch of idiots in Ottawa are already working overtime to make this a "we-gotta-keep-extra-vigilant-about-our-Muslim-neighbours" issue.

Bullshit!

The record would seem to show that you might want to keep an eye on those white guys.

Unless you're Sikh, in which case you might want to keep an eye on them.

As for the Muslims, they seem pretty harmless.

Canadians behind Algeria terror attack

Must be true; it's on Reuters.

Now I'm not suggesting this is not true. But the skeptic in me says it's always mightily convenient how these terror types go off on their suicide missions with their passport conveniently tucked into the pocket of their suicide vest.

For one thing, a Canadian passport is a valuable commodity in the world of cloak and dagger and international intrigue. Just ask the Israeli's who have a long history of using the Canadian ID  for their secret overseas snuff missions.

The reason being that it tends to raise fewer suspicions than a passport from Yemen or Libya. Or Israel for that matter.

So if Abdul Canuck was contemplating going to his reward there in Algeria, would he have taken that passport along on his last mission, or would he have bequeathed it to one of his brothers for a future martyrdom operation?

One thing's for sure; this is going to ramp up the anti-Muslim hysteria among the Harperites in Canada.
