It is a bit big to think that, Canada the second biggest country in the world with only let say 38 millions people will have peace and be sovereign forever.
Terrorism is like cancer, it can strike, anyone, any gender, any age, any place they want, any time they want, they are patient, they dont need an army, how can we fight something that we can't see.
It is also big to think that we will not have attacks on our soil, this is not a normal war, its a religious war, diplomacy im my view is irrelevant, send a diplomat to ISIS playground they will send it back without his head ( maybe its exaggeration)
JT said we will bring the authors of this attack to justice, sure they have blown themselves, take a shovel and pick the pieces.
And today JT and SD told we are not at war with ISIS, this is a soft attitude.
Trump maybe flamboyant, but at least there are some truth in what he say.
They captured some days ago the author of the terrorist attack, and he didn't want to be extradited, he have a lawyer, im sorry but person fanatic as that and preparing other attacks should be, shall I say interrogated, harshly.
And why in the world we have not seen any arabic countries comdemned firmly the attacks, I wonder, why Dubai seem safe, they probably bought their safety.
We are a great country, with a chart of rights, opening arms to refugees, I do not know but if I would practice a religion and see some of my fellow followers blowing themselves up and killing people, i would be ashamed, and say it loud.
I am no mean a racist, I just hate religions, any religions that force people to live their lives according to some obscure book, you can believe in A God and not go to the church, now its Radical Islam that are in the news , centuries ago it was Spanish Inquisition.
So yes Canada should be involved, very involved, because one day, when are the targets, other countries will say we are not at war with your foes, we should be in this together, not like a crusade, but as laicism country again obscurantism extremists.
This is of course my humble opinion

Good post Mithridate. The first thing we need to clear out of our mind is that we are in a war. We are not. A war has rules. ISIS does not give a fuck a about any of these war rules. We need to put a tracker on anyone coming from these country for the past few years (why would anyone would have travelled there in the past few year? appart from journalist?).
Arabic country have had many more death so far due to ISIS then france and belgium. They are in deep shit too. Dont think Dubai is the only Arabic country.
I agree with you on religion. My take is that I am against any religion that threat woman like shit. Think about it, men are the number one reason we have terrorist, war and all these shit. Don't get me wrong I am a men. French singer Renaud wrote a wonderful song about this years ago. There is something in men that is wrong for many.
Maire Lebaume from Quebec said today we should look closely what is happening in mosque. Finally!! We need to stop our stupid "accomodement raisonnable" bulshit and tell immigrants and refugee how we live. In a world were we respect woman among the first thing. If you do not agree just go back. If you agree well welcome with us and I will invite you for dinner!
Cheers,
