17 people, have been arrested after a sting operation by: C.S.I.S. (Cdn. Security Intelligence Service), and the Mounties. They were charged with various offenses under the Criminal Code pertaining to terrorism. That happened Saturday.

I'm not surprised, and I think most Canadians aren't surprised; we knew we were on the list, and the majority of us have accepted that. What I am disturbed at, is the fact that these were some of us; fellow Canadians that did this- it feels like a slap in the face to me as a Canadian, and to those who are waiting to become Canadians. To use, such an incredible gift as citizenship in Canada to destroy Canadian society is just incredibly treasonous to say the least.

Now today we hear word that one of the accused allegedly said he wanted to behead the Prime Minister, and storm Parliament. I was shocked at that; I'd been expecting: The CN Tower, Air Canada Centre, and Skydome (which geographically are located right along the same block), maybe the stock exchange, and a couple office towers as targets. But allegedly planning to behead a Prime Minister? I'm no scholar here, but when a citizen of a country plots to do something like that, isn't it called treason? or in this case: Alleged, or attempted treason?

Note: The Prime Minister, and Parliament buildings are in Ottawa Ontario- approx 4 hrs by train, or 6 hrs by car away from Toronto. The Provincial legislature in Ontario is at Queen's Park- the current Premier: Dalton McGuinty.

Questions are being raised as to whether or not these gentlemen will get a fair trial because of the media attention. I say yes, because I believe that despite being angered, and violated like this, Canadians have an inherent sense of fairness and will give them a fair trial.

I really think it doesn't matter so much that these people are Muslims, but it's that they're Canadian that is the kicker.
