MC Prussian Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 F*** him and all the other vile elements and criminal converts that are trying to harm one of the greatest nations on Earth. The irony of it all is that he's the son of the Immigration Chief. You just couldn't make this up. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/10/22/michael-zehaf-bibea-ottawa_n_6031064.html R.I.P. Nathan Cirillo.
surrifox Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 Agreed - the message is there though - don't **** with the Canadian police and security forces
MPH Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 Impressed with how quickly the Canadians responded to this. But feel so sorry for the soldiers' family, obviously
Guest MattP Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 Shithouses. Even the countries I'm planning to run away to to get away from this shit in later life are having to deal with it now. Could end up in North Korea.
purpleronnie Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 very sad, I guess no country is exempt from nut jobs. There was another incident where a soldier was killed in a hit and run in Quebec that is being classed as a terrorist attack.

Jordan Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 It's awful, especially because the attack struck at symbols of principles Canadians hold dearly. Parliament Hill is beautiful, and the freedom and safety with which Canadians and foreigners can get around the capital is a testament to the best of Canadian values. The National War Memorial is a splendid and solemn monument, and it is no place for a young soldier to die. I've been to Ottawa a few times recently; it's a great city. It seems like such a pleasant place to live. It's sad to think that less than three weeks ago, I stood at the same spot where Cpl. Cirillo would be murdered and thought about how the Canadian people have memorialized those that died in awful wars by creating a place that is so peaceful. Thede attacks pale in comparison to the violence seen in some other countries, including often here, in their neighbor's country. But the setting of these attacks aren't just symbols of Canada's democracy; they're symbols of the country's resolve to unite, defend itself with strength, and fight for the freedom and security of its people. As an American, yesterday was a day not just to think of Cpl. Cirillo and his family, but to take a step back and appreciate what a good neighbor and friend we have in Canada.

Jon the Hat Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 Tragic for the young soldier and his family. I hope he gets an honour for it - you dont expect such things when you are at home on ceremonial guard. That Sergeant at arms was pretty awesome for a retired cop. Still got it.
Jordan Posted 23 October 2014 Posted 23 October 2014 na you'd love it there - keep away from Quebec perhaps! as I said before no Feckin' about if you're unwise enough to take on the police or army though I think MattP would consider Scotland a Randian paradise compared to how Quebec is within Canada! But seriously, Canada's a nice enough country, for sure, Ottawa was a great city before this and I wouldn't imagine it would be any less so today. surrifox is right about their cops, and especially the Mounties. If I got a job offer in Ottawa, and a company was able to help me get a visa, I'd pack my bags tonight. -It's an incredibly clean city - unemployment is very low (it seems like everyone works for either the government, a bank, or Bell) -nice neighborhoods near downtown - lots of good places to get a beer -plenty of cute females -you won't feel like a scamp taking the bus because public transport is solid and everybody uses it - crime is very low (there are a few bad neighborhoods but every city has 'em and theirs are nothing like what I can find not far from where I live--and I live in a very nice town) - hockey is everywhere (but it seems like a pain in the ass to go to Kanata to catch a Senators game) - Parliament Hill, the parks, the Rideau Canal/Ottawa River, the monuments etc. are gorgeous - seems like you get better value on real estate and apartments than Toronto (and a safer city, too), - and if you want to really do some sinning and/or just generally be a dirtbag, you can just go across the river to Gatineau (you can even walk it) Ottawa isn't known as a hip city but I don't think anyone is too concerned about looking cool when you have subzero temperatures for about three months a year.
Jattdogg Posted 22 October 2015 Posted 22 October 2015 Been 1 year since this happened. Cpl cirillo was from my hometown in hamilton where i grew up. He went to the same highschool as my 2 younger brothers and they knew him well. Both of my brothers are based out of the same armories but were in the signals squadron instead of the highlanders. It hit home for me just because it could have been one of my brothers or their fellow soldiers. Proud of how the community and country came together over the senseless loss of life (including the soldier who was also killed in quebec). My youngest brother who is also a cpl has since himself had the honour of standing guard in the same spot. Recently a local park was named in cpl cirillos honour. God bless all of those who stand on guard for thee.
