Gordon said specific targets within Toronto could include the Rogers Centre, CN Tower, subways and commuter trains.
Needless to say, there's a heightened sense of security on the Toronto subway system, which I expect to see in evidence during my impending visit to Toronto. In Washington, security troops armed with automatic weapons have taken to patrolling Metro subway stations there since the London attacks.
Are Canadians on public transport any less blasé, by comparison, to strap hangers in Chicago? Will we be able to spot the U.S. tourists on the Toronto subway by their nervous expressions or will those be shared by Torontonians as well?
The twin factors of the passing of time since 9/11 and no subsequent terrorist attacks on the U.S. mainland has led to a complacency here as well, perhaps one trait which we can point to as being shared by the U.S. and Canadian populations.

The Left in Britain has been attacking everything British since the 1960's. It's the same story here in Canada, we've thrown out what it means to be Canadian in favour of multiculturalism and denigrated the great contributions of our Anglophile heritage.
Immigrants come here and their children are taught that the white man is very bad - name the ill and the white man is the cause. If segments of what is left of Canadian culture actually hate Canadian culture and history, of course 'minority' students in our leftist public schools are going to pick up on this. Look at how the Muslims like to bask in the glow of victimhood, even when it's members of their community victimizing others through violent attacks, that's a direct result of the glorifying of victimhood as taught by leftist's in Britain and Canada today.
These military drills, supported by governments, major corporations, then the attacks on countries and civilians, superimposed by the media, these people gaining fame - the performances are endless... All of this is taking on the life of GAME PLAYING,AT THE EXPENSE OF HUMAN TRAGEDY AND LOSS OF LIFE.
It's chilling to think of where the state of all this is going to take us!

"...is that a culture of self-immolation should not be promoted."
Personal responsibility is a conservative value, though not necessarily a right-wing one.
"It's the same story here in Canada, we've thrown out what it means to be Canadian in favour of multiculturalism and denigrated the great contributions of our Anglophile heritage."
Don't remember this happening. In fact I ususally associate the self-immolation of all things "properly Canadian" as a right-wing strategy. Keeping in mind, of course, that we were a multicultural nation from go, and to argue with that it is *you* who is throwing out history. Quebec Act. 1789.
"Look at how the Muslims like to bask in the glow of victimhood, even when it's members of their community victimizing others through violent attack"
OK, so the argument is: too long have "the Muslims" been free from collective guilt, when they so obviously deserve it because some members of their community are responsible for violent attacks. Their efforts to distinguish the criminals from the community is "basking in the glow of victimhood", but when the "white man" does it it's all about avoiding the "culture of self-immolation". Hmmm.
Given that the "important white men" who brought us multiculturalism had to prevail over attitudes like this, nobody should understate their achievement!
Keep that post handy, it'll get you out of jury duty any time.
The related point: Governor Murray (first after the english took Quebec) refused to enforce the Royal Proclamation banning Catholics from holding office, much less the New England call to simply wipe them out. Canada has always been multicultural. The Quebec Act (1774, my mistake) was multiculturalism, and a great example of *Canadian*, though not "Anglophile" behaviour. The "Anglophiles" of the day were the ones basically calling for the ethnic cleansing of Quebec--claiming injustice, basking in victimhood and throwing tea parties in Boston harbour because mother England wouldn't go along. Colour of skin and ethnicity had nothing to do with it, content of character did.
