The fear for me is that if this is the new face of terrorism, its the perfect face. The lone wolf berzerker who's act is a small act but enough to get attention.
What even makes it more concerting is that CSIS came out yesterday and stated that they don't have the resources to track up to 80 targets that left Canada and returned.
The smart terrorist strategy is not to have the grandiose plans and the need to buy a ton of explosives and have different cells of people active that can leak or inform.
This if it is what it is, is truly terrifying, individuals using simple tactics and weapons to show us that we're not safe.
It could be a hit and run like this one.
Or a public stabbing
Or a home invasion
Its impossible to track unless you have 80 agents constantly following 80 suspects.
And if something like this starts to happen more frequently and its successful, like any political exercise it will grow and grow.
It will be like small pack animals attacking and biting a larger predator, eventually the larger predator will succumb.
