Interesting and scary numbers Security Consultant. I think the first one bothers me the most, good to now they were prosecuted. But am not super surprised with the third, as I see allot of medical forms with directions written by Dr.'s where I work .

Great post!

As far as the terrorist stat goes, the way I interpret it, if you're a free country with Christian roots, your fair game as terrorists see it. It's no secret that we too are target as well either as, 17 people (12 adult males & 5 Youths arrested in Toronto):

As the story describes, they were focusing on targets in Southern Ontario and fortunately the good folks at CSIS and the Mounties, among other Law enforcement agencies caught on to them and stopped them. We can no longer be complacent here too many Canadians believe "it can't happen here". When our troops are Fighting in Afghastan, it's bound to upset the radical-Muslim sympathizers.

Mounties always get their man!

In 2000 I had a large "missing deposit" case at a retailer in Vancouver. In March of 2004 I received a call from the Mountie stateing, "I caught your man". I was very surprised as I though they had given up - how wrong I was. Mounties always get their man.
