Oh, Canada



We need less security, not more

(1) Referring to senseless gun violence, not the ISIS connection


UPDATE: As I was saying ...

It's a normal Wednesday in the U.S. now when Muslim converts kill at the behest of ISIS? I know that's how it is in the UK now, but......for here, it happened quicker than I'd have thought

Hatchett attack in NYC on two police officers too. Muslim convert. One officer in critical condition.

Kenneth : You also have to remember that Canada has a much smaller population than the U.S. And it's less ethnically-diverse. That's another reason there are so many less shootings.

To the above person that said 'Canada is less ethnically diverse" have you ever been to Canada? There is a wide range of different cultures in Canada and there is in the States. Go back to school and get educated.

Anon . : You're just rude. I have been to Canada, and...no, it's not ethnically diverse at all. Look up statistics (and get educated).
