Nothing to see here, move along now

Last Friday, Canada's law enforcement community clearly demonstrated to the nation and the world their capability to counter terrorism by destructing the largest Canadian terrorism plot. However, the liberal left of this country is doing their best to plug their ears and ignore this event's significance.

Darn near every major newspaper in the country ran with front page headlines on the terror plot - with the exception of the Globe and Mail. What was their headline? "Same sex vote set for fall" Is this honestly the most pressing story of the day? Me thinks not.

Globe columnist and doomsday predictor, Lawrence Martin, wrote today about how Harper will use the terror plot as an excuse to join the "Anglo Axis" of countries, America, Britain and Australia. Heaven help us all.

The most shocking reaction to the Toronto terror plot was the reaction of the Muslim community. I (wrongly) assumed Muslim leaders would strongly denounce the actions of those involved with the terror plot, instead we had someone from the Canadian Muslim Congress on CTV's Question Period criticizing President Bush and Prime Minister Harper.

What's more, the NDP critic was expressed skepticism over the validity of the charges, since the RCMP sold the group the ammonium nitrate. The NDP should not comment on matters beyond their intellectual capacity. The only problem is, they would have nothing to say.

Canada is home to a caring and generous society. It must be very difficult for many Canadians to understand how these youth connected with this plot could want to bring harm to their fellow citizens. We need to keep our eye on the bigger picture.
