Terrorists in Toronto

So it seems someone, somewhere, wants Toronto blown up. The RCMP (Yes, the world-famous Royal Canadian Mounted Police) apparently foiled a bombing plot and broke up a terrorism ring right here in Toronto.

Now, I cannot, for the life of me, think of any reason someone would want to blow up anything in Toronto. Okay, the buildings are, for the most part, obscenely ugly, and the public transit isn't the best, though sources say the TTC was not the target. The CN Tower is sort of stupid looking, but it is useful as a compass of sorts, so you wouldn't want to blow that up or you'd get lost....

Anyway, we've seemingly been saved from something devistating, which is good since I'm not in Toronto to get blown up. Getting a PhD is hard enough without bombs going off around you. Still, blow up Canada? That is like hitting your little sister. I mean, Canada barely has a military and there is not a lot of support for Canada's activity in Afghanistan. Canada is not taking part in any of the Iraq situation. Perhaps this plot is in retaliation for the planned Tim Horton's in Kandahar... It is true, their doughnuts are dangerously addictive.
