CBS News sources identified the suspect as Alek Minassian, 25.

U.S. law enforcement sources told CBS News that the incident appears to be a deliberate act. Minister of Public Safety Ralph Goodale said it was too soon to say whether the crash was a case of international terrorism. He said Canada has not changed its terrorism alert level and he has no information that would suggest a need to do so.

Sounds like an Iranian Muslim.

But of course it has nothing to do with Islam.

Nothing to see here and its time to move on...

No.

He’d get life in prison if convicted.

Major crimes are federal offenses in Canada.

No no. They have an ‘out of jail by Christmas’ special for terrorists, plus 10 million bucks to ease the terrorist’s suffering.

Muslims have been doing this for centuries. Everywhere they live, they bring pain and violence upon the native population.

Israel has been the victim of this crazed ideology since its founding. Year after year. And yet the leftist media portrays Israel as the oppressor, and the muslims as the victim.

Well, those chickens have come home to roost in leftist enclaves such as Toronto and Stockholm. It's the stuff of schadenfreude. Nowhere on God's earth will you find a greater number of slobbering candy ass jihadhist apologists than Toronto. How they love wagging their pasty pale fingers at Israel and the good old USA.

Schadenfreude, baby. Schadenfreude.

Police constable might figure it out after he learns to spell his/her name !

“Police Constable Jenifferjit Sidhu said authorities do not yet know the cause or reason for the collision.”

Here is a post off CTH.

“Just Breaking . . . Dateline Toronto –

Mohammed M. Mohammed, the driver of the van that mowed down 8 – 10 people in Toronto has made a statement to Toronto police saying that he became irrationally incensed because of recent inflammatory Islamophobic rantings by the pastor of the Peace & Joy non-denominational Christian Church located in Montreal.

The pastor of Peace & Joy, Edwin Calm, has been arrested by Montreal police and is being held in police custody until a line-up for positive identification can be arranged so as not to inconvenience Mr. Mohammed, who is recuperating from his ordeal at his residence in Toronto.”

I am thinking about a connection with the G7 foreign ministers’ meeting in Toronto. This incident is a big poke in the eye for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Is this just a first step in what could happen?
