First back to school commercial spotted!
Damn you Wal-Mart!
The bombings in London, plus a security conference in Toronto have got people talking about the possiblity of terrorist attacks here in Canada. Just a week before London, I was at the Canada Day fireworks in downtown Ottawa. Perhaps 100,000 people bunched together would be a good target; it crossed my mind a couple of times. Despite the obvious police presence, they couldn’t have done anything to stop a determined bomber.
Canada’s defence has always been “nobody would attack a nice country like us.” The Deputy Prime Minister, Anne McClelland, said that Canada wasn’t “psychologically prepared” for a terrorist attack. This is certainly true. The root of the word terrorism is terror. Maybe the world will soon be saying “if they attacked Canada, no one is safe.” I’m glad I rarely go to downtown Ottawa.
