OTTAWA -- This is an open letter to the minister of Public Safety, Border Security and Wacky Haircuts, Mr. Stockwell Day.
 
Dear Minister Day,
 
I am writing to you because I think someone has to say these things. I have volunteered myself for the job because, perhaps, you might personally read it, knowing it came from me. Remember, you heard my routine once, then stole some of my jokes? But that's a story for another day (or another Day).
 
I was at the airport heading out on another comedy jaunt into the hinterland, bringing quality laughs to the humour-starved residents of postal codes with a lot of zeroes in them.

Group no major threat

Ian MacLeod, The Ottawa Citizen, 7 March 2008

Canada's biggest case of alleged homegrown terrorism -- the "Toronto 18" -- is turning out to be little more than a bunch of "wannabe jihadists" who posed little real danger, says a national security adviser to the federal cabinet.

David Charters, an expert on modern warfare and terrorism, and a member of the Advisory Council on National Security to the Harper cabinet, says what initially appeared to be a frightening plot to bomb Toronto landmarks and storm Parliament by a group dubbed the "Toronto 18," appears to be something far less sinister.
