The biggest news story to hit Canadians is of course the capture of 17 individuals allegedly involved in plotting terror attacks here in Canada.

Of course it's shocking to think that the woes of the world are starting to befall in our quaint little Canadian bubble! But, thankfully, unlike intelligence in the U.S. we managed to suss it out and stop it before something truly terrible happened!

The plot of the individuals sounded a bit like a Guy Faulks activity complete with burning down the Parliament Buildings. CBC.ca reports that this is inspired by Al-Queada, and Karmacake says it was inspired by V for Vendetta. Honestly, folks, we are Canadians... our thought process is never usually so sophisticated to go beyond the realm of Hollywood.

Also, the terror attacks were going to happen where? Mississauga, Toronto & what?! The township of Ramara? We have some seriously disgruntled 905'ers on our hands here. Toronto, sure... Mississauga? What were they going to do? Attack Square One? I used to work there! Those bitches, carry guns! And, what is this Ramara place? How does any of this make sense!?

Again, the sophistication issue, we lack that! It's the Canadian way! Even CBC.ca reports directly from another news source:

Elsewhere, the Times of London reported Wednesday that the 17 arrests in the Toronto area were actually linked to a much bigger international investigation.


CBC couldn't find this out themselves, they had to go to Time of London to get the information.

In closing, Canadian security = good. They stopped a terrible event happening and saved thousands of lives.
Canadians = not so bright. From staging an attack on a little known township to our main news source citing news leads from other newspapers.

That's just the way it is.
I'm going to pass out now.
