Walt cannot resist passing on the revelation (from AFP this morning) that when Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the Islamic terrorist wannabe, stormed down the Hall of Honour in the Centre Block of the parliament buildings, Canuck Prime Minister Steve Harper jumped -- or was shoved, depending on whose version of the story you believe -- into a closet!
Walt wonders if there was enough room for the full-figured Harper, along with his Foreign Affairs Minister, John "Nancy" Baird, and Jason Kenney, Canada's Minister of Employment and Social Development and Minister for Multiculturalism. [sic] Unlike Messrs Baird and Kenney, Mr. Harpoon came out of the closet once the echos of gunfire had died away.
Nancy was quick to deny that there was any link between Zehaf-Bibeau and ISIS [or "ISIL", as Baird keeps calling it. Ed.]. The fact that Mme Bibeau said her son was trying to get a passport to go to Syria to fight perhaps escaped Mr. Baird's notice. So too the report that, having had his passport lifted by the Mounties, Zehaf-Bibeau applied for a passport from, errr, Libya.
Elsewhere... the arch-conservative David Frum -- sometime advisor to Republicans right up to the presidential level, but actually a Canuck! -- has penned (possibly using a quill) "The Allure of Radical Islam in Canada", in which he undertakes to advise Canadians (presumably including Messrs Harper and Baird) what they can do about it.
What is Mr. Frum's advice to a troubled people? In a word, "adapt". No mention of booting the Islamic extremists out of the country, or (even better) letting them go fight their battles in their cultural homeland. No mention of resigning from Obarmy's coalition and leaving the Muslims alone to slaughter each other in the name of the Prophet. Just "adapt".
