I think it's a bit ridiculous to say that there hasn't been an internal focus towards ISIS before today. I also think your earlier claims about there being a lack of lonewolf style terrorists in Canada prior to ISIS forgets or ignores the bombing plot in Victoria during Canada Day in 2013. In fact, I think that case has a lot of similarities to this one. You have a low-income pair with a history of criminal convictions and substance abuse problems latch onto a violent ideology and then attempt to act out. I'm sorry, but I think there's a lot more that can be done within the country to prevent homegrown terrorism than there is fighting halfway across the world.
Anyways, I'll stop with the politics, but the hysterical and over-dramatic responses by some in this thread are hard to stomach.
