Is there not camera security around our Parliament that could've seen a guy carrying a shotgun, coming? Cameras at the War Memorial may have also helped prevent another shootout (sadly, not the tragic and senseless loss of life).
Not to turn this into a big brother issue, but on Parliament Hill, Federal Buldings and monuments, there should be absolutely full camera scrutiny 24.7...really, all of downtown Ottawa in my opinion.

Just speculation here, but I assume security on Parliament Hill is much like airport security and bike locks... they stop the honest people.
A motivated criminal/terrorist isn't going to be stopped by a metal detector or camera.
