My Daughter is married to a member of the Canadian Defence Force. As many will know, there have been two separate attacks on Canadian Defense Forces people in Ontario and Quebec: one at parliament. She posted this today: with her husband posted away from the Priaries where they live.
Our family is safe. But our Military family grieves. I know 6 years ago we sat down and decided to join a red and white family. We knew there would be stress and hard choices. But one thing we always thought was we would be helping far away lands it would not hit close to home. Well it has and I am proud of our CF Family and the fact that we banned together because it makes us stronger then we were. LOVE IS A CORD STRONGER THEN A CHAIN OF STEEL and can not be broken.
The Psalm tor today says.
Fret not yourself because of evildoers; be not envious of wrongdoers! For they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb.
Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday.
Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices! Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. For the evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the LORD shall inherit the land.
In just a little while, the wicked will be no more; though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. But the meek shall inherit the land and delight themselves in abundant peace.
The wicked plots against the righteous and gnashes his teeth at him, but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he sees that his day is coming. The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows to bring down the poor and needy, to slay those whose way is upright; their sword shall enter their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.
Better is the little that the righteous has than the abundance of many wicked. For the arms of the wicked shall be broken, but the LORD upholds the righteous. The LORD knows the days of the blameless, and their heritage will remain forever;
(Psalm 37:1-18 ESV)
Our thoughts are with Canada today.

Update: Added Ontario, Ottawa is on that side of the border. As Will said, both attacks were by recent converts to Islam. By your fruits you will know them: this Islamic State has stoned a woman for adultery (consult your gospels: Christ dealt with that in his time by shaming every person who was going to stone the woman into leaving).
Islam is the dark mirror of the gospel. Where we preach the law as a gateway to mercy, they proclaim mercy while insisting on a law that has… not any mercy at all.
Thanks.
BTW, not two attacks in Quebec: two attacks in Canada; one in Quebec, near Montreal, on Monday; and the one yesterday in Ottawa, Ontario.
Both involving Quebecois converts to Islam; homegrown terrorists…
Is MOM still on the Immigration B0ard— she was on it for 20+ years!!!!
Why is she not taken off it–fast!!!. Where is the accountability of the long term consequences
of this facilitated invasion and Genocide.???
Fed up with those who enabled this being allowed to avoid prosecution and accountability.
Harper and other federal MP’s wail and moan about the tragedy but are NOT held to answer for their own complicity,
Enough. Go get them.
Canadian here. The Ontario/Quebec thing can be forgiven: they’re only about 2 1/2 hours apart so, depending on map scale, could look similar.
Reports are out now that the recent convert Abdul Bibeau (use his real name like Marc Lemire’s Gamil Gharbi) was not recently converted but 7 years ago…. way before his father went to Libya to fight for the rebels.
Yeah, Ottawa is on the Border of Ontario and Quebec, to my knowledge. Closest I have ever been is Hamilton, ONT.
That’s right, it lies across the river from Gatineau, Quebec.
