The police havent figured out motive or much about yesterdays event, and the public hasnt been informed about all of what they have found. However, Harper already is using the event to speed up what he sees as solutions to the yet very incompletely known problem: “The Prime Minister also put MPs on notice that the Conservative government plans on strengthening Canada’s national security laws. In recent weeks, I have been saying that our laws and police powers need to be strengthened in the area of surveillance, detention and arrest, Mr. Harper said. They need to be much strengthened. I assure members that work which is already under way will be expedited. We talk about not allowing events like this to interrupt democracy, but democracy requires people to be informed about issues before supporting action, and having a prime minister suggestion action without people (and probably himself) having the opportunity to be informed is also a threat to democracy. theglobeandmail/news/politics/mps-return-to-house-in-emotional-gathering-after-ottawa-shooting/article21263777/
