Today marks twelve years since Cpl Nathan Cirillo was shot three times in the back by a jihadi, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau

It marks twelve years and two days since a jihadi, Martin Couture-Rouleau (whose jihadi name was Ahmad LeConverti, because he was also a recent convert), rammed his car into two soldiers in a Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu parking lot, killing WO Patrice Vincent.

It has been two years since the CBC finally admitted that the murder of Cpl. Cirillo was a terrorist attack.

It has been zero days since Carney whitewashed the ideological motives for these attacks.

"To those who are involved and listen to this movie, this is in retaliation for Afghanistan and because Harper wants to send his troops to Iraq. So we are retaliating, the mujahideen of this world."

~ Michael Zehaf-Bibeau

"Alert Canada, the governor and everyone who is responsible for the army to leave the coalition fighting against the Islamic State."

~ Martin Couture-Rouleau (aka Ahmad LeConverti), speaking with the 911 operator.

I was posted to Ottawa at the time of these attacks. I phoned my subordinates to tell them not to be out in public in their uniforms. For weeks afterward, members travelled to and from work in civilian clothes.

The threats our uniformed military members face are very real. Why would Carney whitewash the true nature of these threats? Is it because he wants our soldiers to be safe?
