Wait, What? Al Sharpton Says The Latest North American Terror Attack Happened Where?

Yes, it’s a serious matter, very serious — the terror attack in Canada, where a gunman, a recent Muslim convert, went on a shooting rampage in and around the Parliament complex in Ottawa. The terrorist took the life of a Canadian soldier and threatened countless others before being shot down himself.

And before we get to Al Sharpton’s latest episode of showing how prone he is to verbal “misfires,” let’s check the very latest on the Canadian terror attack.

Authorities now confirm that it was a lone gunman who caused Wednesday’s mayhem. Identified as Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, the Canadian-born shooter had a criminal record and was recently designated a “high-risk traveler” by the officials who had seized his passport.

The prime minister of Canada, Stephen Harper, has now labelled the attack as terrorism — something that was already clear by the time Harper made a somber but strong televised address Wednesday night.

“…attacks on our country, on our values, on our society, on us Canadians as a free and democratic people who embrace human dignity for all. But let there be no misunderstanding. We will not be intimidated. Canada will never be intimidated.”

Some 12 hours after the attack began, authorities determined there were no other gunmen involved, and the final lockdowns were lifted from buildings on Ottawa’s Parliament Hill.

Which brings us to what happened on Al Sharpton’s MSNBC show, “Politics Nation.”

Canada needs to learn from America how to treat their citizens.

Get them to spy on each other (see something say something) and involve lots of "secret police" to monitor their emails, texts, and listen in on phone calls.

Then they won't stop any terror. Most terror is sponsored by the US Government anyway. But they will be able to scare the life out of their citizens.

Nobody in Canada will ever consider disobeying a single Statute the government instigates.
