There won't be anything happening in canada, because we're not directly involved in any operation against Daesh...yet. The moment JT engages a coalition against daesh I'll be shitting in my pants.
...I don't want to see Canada in the same scenario. It is not worth it. If we want to avoid those things to happen again we need to use diplomacy not pummeling.
This is what open borders gets you. Anybody entering any Country in Europe can go throughout Europe without being checked. This includes Islamic Terrorists who blow up innocent civilians.
Advocating military force is the only thing we've been doing for decades and so far we can't say it has worked, I can't think of one example that started with a military campaign and ended with a stable region. Do you know how many civilians bombings killed in Syria? There are people who join Isis with the same reasoning you're having. It is just applied to their particular situation.You call the murdering of innocent civilians "biting back"?
Is the whole free world supposed to back off and allow this to happen wherever and when ever they decide.
I don't think so, I was never an advocate of military force but with Isis there is no other alternative, you cannot resolve this with diplomacy or by trying to stay out of it.
No country is immune or safe from them.
The attacks of Paris back in November were not just random attacks. French have been pummeling Iraq and Syria and so was Belgium (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/w...t-airport-and-maalbeek-maelbeek-a6946136.html) What do people expect? What I don't understand in all of this is that people act surprised and say "isis hates us because we embody freedom and bla bla bla". When you attack someone, expect them to bite back. belgians are hostages of bad politics and so are the french. I don't want to see Canada in the same scenario. It is not worth it. If we want to avoid those things to happen again we need to use diplomacy not pummeling.

And people wonder why Donald Trump is so popular ?
My Dutch friends told me that all flights are being diverted to Amsterdam for now. Holland on super high alert as well

Donald Trump suggests to totally ban Muslims from entering US, which is not likely to happen, but he suggests US to interfere less foreign business and deal less with NATO, that gives ISIS better chance of waging Jihad.
Donald Trump is the emotional choice for the Republican nomination. He's touching on serious problems like the jihadist will to destroy the West as we know it, but his methods of doing so is not very consistent, as you well point out.
The Democrat choices are no better. The Democrats play heavy on domestic emotionalism.
On the foreign front, the Democrat party has gone from engagement in the World (FDR, Truman, JFK) to isolationists, which was the Republican platform during the 1930's prior to WWII. Funny how the roles have changed.
