Of course there might be involvement. But I ask you: how many times has there been an attack by foreign powers on Canadian soil? How many people are gunning for the destruction of Canada of all places?
I struggle to think of any. I mean, for God's sake, when Prime Minister Harper cut funding to things like Veteran's benefits to fuel a panicked desire to weed out Terrorist activity in Canada, the primary criticism of it was that there was no activity to begin with.Â
Nobody wants to blow up Canada.
Terrorist Attack in Cananda
Quote:On October 20, in the 2014 Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu ramming attack, Martin Couture-Rouleau attacked two Canadian Armed Forces soldiers. Rouleau was a 25-year-old Québécois who became a Muslim convert in 2013[19] and was a supporter of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). Rouleau used his car to run down the two soldiers before being fatally shot by police after an ensuing car chase. One of the soldiers, Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, age 53, subsequently died from his injuries.
The terror threat level in Canada was on October 21 raised to medium in light of Vincent's death and due to "an increase in online 'general chatter' from radical groups including Islamic State and al-Qaeda." In his address to the nation following the shootings on October 22, Prime Minister Stephen Harper referred to the October 20 incident as an ISIL-inspired terrorist attack. Although both the October 20 and 22 attacks led to the death of Canadian soldiers, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has ruled out any direct connection between the events of October 20 and 22.
Whether true or not matters little when you have the PM claiming ISIL involvement. Like when GW said Iraq had WMDs. Whether or not they are there didn't matter, we went to war.
So once a government starts talking like that quote up there, skin is in the game. Also guys like Farah Mohamed Shirdon have been throwing the "We are coming for you Canada." for years now. Most taped messages from the terror group to the US usually have a whole tirade about Canada too. Not only that since the 2014 attacks on Parliament Hill, terror cell chatter reports and taped messages to the Maplelands have become greater in numbers. Usually not even mentioning the US. So Canada is a big player in this and a target as much as the rest of us.

The Japanese perspective. I forgot to clarify.

Let's see...If Turkey is blocking Russia's trade routes, then Turkey would be US and Russia would be Japan, I guess. Either way, this has the potential to escalate quickly and explosively.

Of course, as far as we know, Russia isn't committing a second Rape of Nanking and Japan didn't violate US airspace repeatedly before Pearl Harbor.

Not yet, thankfully.
