Public safety
trumps privacy
in terror war
J
e suis Charlie" I am Charlie.
While the world wrapped itself in a catchy slogan to
w solidarity with the French after the terrorist attack
on the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, it hasn't found
an effective way to fend off the new breed of global terror-
ism that piles up victims so fast, we barely learn who they
are before others overtake them.
What's needed is a wider public debate -- and co-ordi-
nated government action -- to crack down on both home-
grown and international acts of violence and hatred no
longer confined to the world's bad neighbourhoods.
Inevitably, that means an adult conversation about
accepting new sacrifices in personal privacy in the inter-
ests of public safety.
Hijackings, car bombings, Munich -- to Canadians of a
certain vintage, terrorism was specific both in type and
place. Think the Mideast, Africa, South America and, yes,
even parts of Western Europe.
The 9/11 attacks rewrote the playbook for a new gener-
ation. It was big -box terrorism.
But what we're seeing now isn't the terrorism our par-
ents or even our children knew; it's an insidious new
form that often creeps out of the corners of religious
righteousness, at home and abroad, fuelled by offences
both real and imagined.
It spreads through the Internet with the same lightning
speed as its showpiece video beheadings and the claims
of responsibility that follow every terrible new attack.
The year 2015 was only a week old when the French
massacre hit, its death toll 17 people over three days. The
world was so repulsed, millions took to the streets to both
mourn and stand up for freedom of speech, which came
under fire in the assault on the magazine known for lam-
pooning Islam.
But only days later, Canadian police were dealing again
with more terrorism suspects on our own soil, this time
young men from Ottawa, and Boko Haram was slaughter-
ing more innocent Nigerians.
Do we even remember the 276 school girls the militant
Islamic group kidnapped last April?
Paris, Sydney, London, Ottawa and St -Jean -sur -Rich-
elieu, Que. -- the new terrorism is a global traveller.
Slogans alone won't yank its passport.
letter to the editor
Ladies Auxiliary looking
for new members
To the Editor:
This is a letter from the Auxiliary to Branch 156 Royal Canadian
Legion, Seaforth.
As everyone knows we have lost many of our faithful members
in the last few years. Now we are asking for your help so that we
can carry on and hold our charter. We are asking for some ladies
to come and join our Auxiliary. It is a lot easier now to join as they
would not need someone in their family to have been a veteran as
long as they live here in town or the area.
We meet once a month for fellowship and look over our agenda
for the next month.
Our profits go to help students and donations are given out etc.
I would be glad to talk to you and help in anyway I can.
