The Economist comments on the recent terrorist related arrests

"IT HAS long been an article of faith among Canadians—just as it once was among Britons—that their commitment to an easygoing multicultural society protects them from home-grown Islamist terrorism. That belief was shattered this month when police charged 12 men and five youths with planning a wave of attacks, ranging from blowing up the Toronto Stock Exchange to storming the national public broadcaster and the Parliament buildings in Ottawa—and beheading the prime minister."
