1. Amazing footage.

Too soon to know, but I'm guessing this has something to do with Canada's decision to join the US led airstrikes against ISIL.
If so, the shit has gotten real.

[arthritisR_US]

6. My in laws are from Quebec and ever since

the two soldiers were attacked in Montreal on the weekend, in the ring ups with the family there, we all feel these are directly related to the governments decision to join the coalition fight against ISIL.

[GGJohn]

9. I'm kinda on the fence on Canada's decision,

the US seems to have plenty of partners flying airstrikes, Great Britain, Australia, Jordan, Qatar, Bahrain, etc, even Russia may join the coalition, maybe Canada should sit this one out.
Just a thought, what do you and your relates think?

[arthritisR_US]

10. We prefer to support a coalition with your current

president over the former. Our commitment would be very limited because our forces are very small. But, the size is not the issue because the more countries who give their support to this fight against ISIL the louder and stronger the message being sent to the thugs.

If it hadn't been this issue that brought ISIL into attacking on our soil it would have been some other fabricated reason. They pull rationale for their thuggery out of their asses at will.

[GGJohn]

11. I see your point,

and I suspect you're right, if it hadn't been this issue, it would've been something else.
Hope your relates are safe and sound in Canada.

13. My daughters one office in Ottawa (a block down from

the Parliament) is in lockdown. They've already been swept by swat teams and say looking out the windows can see snipers atop on buildings across.

[Tsiyu]

14. That'll make a parent's day

It really sucks.

Hopefully this won't lead to massive fear mongering.

And will lead to better intelligence efforts that don't compromise privacy.

My thoughts are for the safety of your daughter and anyone at all in harm's way.

[arthritisR_US]

16. Oh she's here in Calgary. Part of her team is in

Ottawa and they are on a conference call which started 7:30 this morning and then about 45 minutes into the meeting the Parliament incident started. She was reporting to me what her team in Ottawa were reporting. Sorry for my lack of clarity.

[GGJohn]

18. Glad she's safe.

[arthritisR_US]

20. Thanks :) nt

[arthritisR_US]

21. Swat teams just did a second sweep of that building, you could

hear them in the background of the call. They may be getting escorted out onto buses in short order.

[Tsiyu]

29. Glad you don't have to worry so much then

I hope all on her team are safe as well

[arthritisR_US]

31. You and me both, they were completely calm. nt

[Sissyk]

24. My thought are with you and your daughter,

I hope everyone is safe, and stays that way.

[arthritisR_US]

25. Thanks Sissy! She's a manager and was afraid for her team members in Ottawa but

they are all calm. The target of this attack is government and military personnel, going by what we are hearing from eye witness accounts.

3. Downtown Ottawa is on lockdown as well

as the police have a manhunt for one, perhaps two gunmen. The university of Ottawa is on lockdown too. One gunman was killed at the Parliament.

5. This following Monday's crash

that killed a soldier

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/21/world/americas/in-canada-terrorism-concerns-arise-after-car-hits-2-in-military.html

The good news is, foreign banks are being held responsible for providing banking services to terrorist organizations.

http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/23/nyregion/arab-bank-found-guilty-of-supporting-terrorist.html

The bad news is, Canada is being targeted now.

[CJCRANE]

8. They had unlimited funding for three years

unlimited social media access to recruit and propagandize for three years, training, open borders for three years to stream into Syria.

[arthritisR_US]

12. A soldier on Monday and the first person

shot today at the War Memorial was a soldier in full dress.

A few blocks east of the Parliament Building at the Rideau Centre (Mall) things are happening.

[Tsiyu]

15. They've advised military to stay in place I hear

and have bases on high alert.

Not fun.

[arthritisR_US]

17. They have issued Canada wide alerts. nt

[flamingdem]

7. I like how the guy is so calm

I think there would be more freaking out in the states.

[maced666]

22. Yes, our response would be...worse.

(Eye roll)

[bklyncowgirl]

32. Tell that to New Yorkers and Bostonians

We've had our own terrorist attacks and our people on the scene kept their cool and did what the could to help others.

[Historic NY]

23. Now reporting the soldier initally shot has died of his wounds...

[arthritisR_US]

28. I think they were referring to the one from Monday

[arthritisR_US]

30. I stand corrected, your reporting was right. The soldier shot at the

War Memorial has died

[jollyreaper2112]

27. ugh

Video won't play. Working for anyone else? Other youtubes will play.

URGENT - NORAD alert

In response to the ongoing situation at Canada's Parliament, the North American Aerospace Defense Command, or NORAD, has increased its alert posture, CNN has learned. That means that it has increased the number of planes on a higher alert status ready to respond if needed. NORAD and Canadian law enforcement and Canadian authorities are in contact, an official told CNN.
