  1. The perpetrator was not white. If he was, the news would have Doxed him calling him a far right white supremacist. You know that his is an act of terrorism, because the media and police are saying it is not.

    Three days ago, police shot and killed a man at Toronto Pearson airport (media said a firearm was discharged) when the perpetrator pointed a gun. Police did not name him yet, described him as in mental distress and said it was not an act of terrorism. Why hide the identity ?😮😮
    😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

  2. Its not an act of terrorism, its just a crazy person inflicting terror upon a visible minority. The only difference is the semantics. 🙄🇨🇦

  3. Not a terrorism?? Why??are the filipino canadian communities not terrorized by this,,we filioinos are not animals,we are humans,,as a filipino canadians I wanted the Police chief resigned

  4. Let this incident make Canadians think a hundred times before they cast their votes on 28th.. Canada is not that far away from being another Germany or UK due to the senseless Immigration Policies of Liberals… Take the right decision Canadians…

  5. Did this driver take alcohol? Why run into a crowd of people? Now 11 innocent people are dead. And they concluded it is not terrorism, okay

  6. It might have been a terrorist act. It might have been a medical episode, or a mechanical failure in the vehicle, or a drunk driver, or . . . I have an idea. Let’s let the police complete their investigation. Then we’ll know.

  7. That’s what they want you to believe before the election . It was definitely a terrorist . Jihadist . The Liberals want to shut it down

  8. A person of European descent or fundamentalist hardcore fanatical Christians could not commit terror because the officials said so. Do u still believe the news today. ?

  9. Its correct to say its not terrorism. Look the kashmir attack. It was conducted by islamic terrorists.

  10. kai adam loe ,30 year old man . not Muslims or usual suspects not the religion of peace etc shame on you who speak these things. So if he is of another belief or religion should all that follow , always carry the mark of one. Same goes to all beliefs and religions. It is disgusting how some people quickly judge harshly . Remember in UK when many jumped online saying the stabber was Muslim . It turned out , church going Axel the choirboy . It sickens me how some people love to spread hate and chaos at a whim.

  11. Its not act of terrorism because not many canadians affected only Filipinos lost a lot. And the suspect acts of insanity to avoid murder case.

  12. Ya cuz Canada can't have terrorists. 🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦. They sure are pushing that narrative. One way or another it's a form of terrorism.
