| Canadian hard boyz charged with bombmaking |
| 2006-06-06 |
| The twelve men arrested Friday and charged as adults in connection with alleged terrorist acts are linked together in six categories of charges, court documents reveal. Documents filed at the Brampton courthouse indicate that the charges range from conspiracy to carry out a terrorist activity, to training for terrorist purposes, to bomb making and illegally importing guns and ammunition. All twelve are charged with knowingly participating in a terrorist group for the purpose of carrying out terrorist activity in Mississauga, Toronto, Fort Erie, the Township of Ramara and elsewhere in Ontario, between March 1, 2005 and June 2, 2006. |

| #13 The trailing daughters had to trace their family tree for a history class project. My darling mother-in-law's line was practically braided. ;-) |

| #12 LOL, tw. I didn't know that, but it could explain some things now that I think about it. Don't know why but I'm reminded of my favourite mother-in-law joke (translated). What's the definition of sorrow and pity? Sorrow is when your mother-in-law falls into a well, pity is when a crane pulls her out. Or is it the other way around. |

| #11 If my mother-in-law's family tree is typical of her compatriots, the requirements for Quebecois are that they all came over to Canada together from the same few villages in France, where they had been intermarrying since the Dark Ages, and proceeded to live next door to one another on this side of the ocean, never marrying our of the neighborhood -- except for the occasional Indian wife, of course. Is that what you meant, Rafael? ;-) |

| #9 Raf: Anyone arriving in Canada, even with forged documents, can immediately apply for refugee status. That starts a multi-month (years in many cases) process wherein the person can just move and effectively disappear from the system. There are thousands of "refugees" who fail to show up to their hearings and melt away into whatever cultural enclave they want to. The system is about as good at finding them as the US is at finding illegals. Basically, they don't even try. |

| #7 Celine Dion is Quebecois. They have their own separate immigration rules. |

| #6 Beyond the denial that these guys are muslims, what really makes me grin is the commentators that admit, "well OK, these guys are Islamic terrorists," but then claim that they aren't Al Qaeda or are only AQ imitators. I guess that's why the investigation is expanding to seven countries. Denial is always so fascinating in a sick sort of way. The imams are the recruiters and turn these kids over to the training, logistical, and operational networks. If you don't have informers and agents in the mosques, these kinds of incidents are going to continue to pop up. |
