As Walt pointed out yesterday, questions are already being asked about the true meanings of the terrorist attacks on Canadian soldiers early this week. While admitting that the killings were, in fact, terrorist attacks, Canuck PM Steve Harper and his bumboy Baird downplay the fact that both killers were converts to Islam and wannabe ISIS fighters. After all, we wouldn't want to let those inconvenient truths get in the way of our celebration of diversity!
President Obarmy, in like manner, contented himself with saying on Wednesday that "this obviously is something that we'll factor in in the ongoing efforts we have to counter terror attacks." What, exactly, does that mean? That's the question posed by comedian Russell Brand in the latest installment of his "Trews" series -- "true news so you don’t have to invest any money in buying newspapers that charge you for the privilege of keeping your consciousness imprisoned in a tiny box of ignorance and lies".
In his video, Mr. Brand dissects the political response to the murders. He says that Mr. Harpoon's speech had a political agenda, and accuses him of telling Canadians how to think. "It’s a very familiar and recognizable type of speech," Mr. Brand says. "'When these things happen, it’s an attack on all of us.' Is it? Is it, really? I know that’s what you’re saying, but where’s the evidence?"
Another good question. Indeed, a very good question. Watch the video.

"Harper's Islamic chickens come home to roost"
"Should the West be meddling in the Middle East? Good question!"
