Yes, on Canada day. Which the media has informed the Canadian readership is the equivalent of the 4th of July in the US.
Canada Day is the equivalent of the July Fourth Independence Day celebrations in the United States, with street parties, barbecues and fireworks displays
This way we feel the kinship, once were forced into the NAU. Sorry, story for another day ... back to the "TERROR PLOT"A selection of news stories- *Montreal Gazette*Reuters Canada*Vancouver SunJust the meat and potatoes!
- Police charged the suspects with plotting to set off the three home-made devices outside the parliament building in Victoria, the capital of the Pacific Coast province, during Canada Day festivities on Monday.
Arrests took place on Monday, allegedly, but no arrests announcements till Tuesday? Why?If anything was actually going to take place on Canada Day, would it not have been better to arrest them before hand? Particularly since CSIS and/ or the RCMP have been monitoring them since February/13 and were fully aware of their plot.The advantage for these arrests taking place when they did come from being in the Tuesday news cycle. A day after the plot date. (dodged a bullet) Lots of media play during the new work week/news cycle. Had the arrests taken place prior to Canada day, when one would sensibly think was the time for prevention and all, these arrests would not have garnered the necessary media hysteria.

“Officials said they had monitored the pair since February and that the public was not at risk, since agents had made sure the bombs would never have exploded
”Police said there was no risk to the public at any time because they began monitoring the suspects in February and had known all along what was happening.”The investigation began in February when the Canadian Security Intelligence Service tipped the Integrated National Security Enforcement Team about a possible terror plot, leading to the four-month investigation dubbed Project Souvenir.”
How were the pair monitored? What did this entail?How were agents able to ensure the bombs would never go off? Unless they were in close, personal contact with the pair.Which would explain the monitoring... and the ‘knowing all along what was happening’Project Souvenir? Curious name.Were CSIS and the RCMP out to gather some souvenirs?Make themselves appear valuable to society, hard at work and worth the vacuuming of the taxpayer dollar?Quoting RCMP commissioner Rideout
“Rideout said the RCMP used a variety of techniques to “monitor and control” the accused throughout their conspiracy, though he said he couldn’t provide specifics now that the case is before the courts.”The RCMP used a variety of techniques to “monitor and control” the accused throughout their conspiracy “They took steps to educate themselves and produce explosive devices designed to cause injury and death. ... They discussed a wide variety of targets and techniques."
Who assisted the pair with their steps? Who did the pair discuss a wide variety of targets and techniques with? It would seem since they were monitored and controlled for months by the RCMP that the pair most likely discussed their wide variety of targets and techniques with none other then... the RCMP.Doubtful there were talking this up in amongst the general public, so who else is there?
“Federal Public Safety Minister Vic Toews applauded the work of the law enforcement agencies involved in the investigation."Yesterday's arrests demonstrate that terrorism continues to be a real threat to Canada," Toews said in a statement."The RCMP has assured me that at no time during the course of this investigation was there an imminent risk to the safety of Canadians."
I couldn't imagine that there was an imminent risk to CanadiansPlenty of meme bombs dropped, sorry for that tasteless pun, I couldn't resist-Pressure Cookers-Al Queada-Boston Bombing-Terror plot-RadicalizationUpdate:
Little is known about Nuttall and Korody, but it appears that Nuttall had an intense interest in music and had a history of cocaine and methadone abuse. The pair had been renting a basement suite in a Surrey home for about three years, and their landlord, Shanti Thaman, said they appeared to subsist on social assistance.
Answers my question about the drug use of this pair. Nutall also having a fairly extensive criminal history.
