Well … the border is open … there many here with expired paperwork, etc. The islamic terrorists/jihadis like to attack on Christian Holidays. So I'm going with all the usual suspects. After all, since the USA supported Israel since '48. That has made us a target …

Wait, on the Canadian border? That can't be right, I thought Canada has become a Socialist Utopia. </sarcasm>

Prayers for the victims. If everyone went around killing everyone that offended them, there wouldn't be too many people left hanging around.

It was supposedly crossing from the US side. They are also looking for a second car, according to the latest reports. The car was going at a high rate of speed and rammed a fence. Both in the car dead and one border agent wounded. That is the latest.

But they have confirmed a terrorist attack.

Now they are getting iffy about it being a terrorist attack. 😂 I guess we will see.

As I have said, more terrorists arrive through the north than the south by far, according to terror list apprehension data. But today's event is not yet a clear determination.

The southern border is a different kind of problem. Sheer numbers. We know that US citizens bring in most of the fentanyl through regular customs there. Very easy to hide it and the cartels know it will mostly get through, unlike risking the chaos of the rest of the border. Terrorists also seem to prefer a smoother entry from the north.

But this is not to say that the southern border is not a major crisis.

I saw the explosion on TV. Does NOT look like a bomb to me. Looked like an exploding car. I'd say NOT terrorism.

I guess we will see.

A bit premature in your evaluation, dontcha think……….?

"Does NOT look like a bomb to me. Looked like an exploding car."

Betting it was an EV. They don't look like bombs until they catch fire… ;-)

35thOVI Supporting Member of TMP22 Nov 2023 4:48 p.m. PST

Don't know. As I said, guess we will see. All news on radio reported it as terrorists. They were all absolutely positive. By afternoon they started changing their stories. Then I heard an eyewitness say the car was going at excessive speed, went airborne and then exploded when it hit the ground. When I saw the video at 4:30, the explosion just looked like a car that exploded, without the normal look of exploding ordinance with peripheral damage. I've been hearing lately, no explosives.

Give it 24 hours.

Tortorella Supporting Member of TMP22 Nov 2023 5:06 p.m. PST

The media wanted a bigger story, I bet….

Personal logo Legion 4 Supporting Member of TMP22 Nov 2023 5:10 p.m. PST

Bottom line as we know … the first report is always wrong. So it looks like … well not a terrorist attack. But it does look like an EV going nuclear. I await more intel about this "attack" …

FWIW – does not mean the islamic terrorists are not planning to attack. Especially during Christian holidays …

"A fiery crash occurring on a bridge connecting Canada and the United States on Wednesday was initially and erroneously reported as a terrorist attack. In actuality, the driver of the vehicle was a 56-year-old man who had traveled to Ottawa to attend a KISS concert.

The man, whose identity has not yet been revealed, was driving with his wife in a Bentley. The driver and the passenger died in the crash, and a Customs and Border Protection officer suffered minor injuries."

Prince Alberts Revenge23 Nov 2023 8:16 a.m. PST

That damn open border letting Americans sneak into Canada (thru a port of entry no less) must be to blame. At least Benny Johnson said so (and he's never wrong).

We live in a time when we are in a rush to break the news (often incorrectly) and in an even greater rush to point the finger in blame at someone else.

Fun times.

Stryderg23 Nov 2023 8:33 a.m. PST

Dude, that's been happening since the 80's, at least. It's part of the reason I have trust issues, especially with news outlets, politicians, the social elites and Teletubbies. (You just KNOW they're up to something.)

Reports are it was a husband & wife … I guess that is one way to end an argument …

Prince Alberts Revenge23 Nov 2023 2:48 p.m. PST

@Strydberg, indeed it's not a new phenomenon however with the introduction of social media and 24/7 news,anything from terror attacks to border patrol agents "whipping" migrants are reported (and accepted ) as fact before the truth has had an opportunity to come through light.

La Fleche23 Nov 2023 8:11 p.m. PST

Could have been mechanical failure.

Perhaps it was the work of the Axle of Evil.

Good a theory as any !

Oberlindes Sol LIC Supporting Member of TMP25 Nov 2023 7:46 p.m. PST

Current theory seems to be that the $300,000 USD Bentley had some sort of technical problem that caused it to accelerate so much that when it hit something, it jumped over 10 feet in the air. The video I've seen is bizarre, but only shows the car approaching and going airborne.

car goes airborne at about 28 second mark:

Current theory seems to be that the $300,000.00 USD USD Bentley had some sort of technical problem that caused it to accelerate so much that when it hit something, it jumped over 10 feet in the air.

Nothing new there. Audi, Ford, Toyota, Jeep and Honda have all had similar problems in the past. Obviously more rigorous testing is needed before they are allowed to sell their cars.

Unusual in that neck of the woods, a peaceful town. But there is no normal anymore.
