Canada: State terrorism and imperialist war justified in name of countering individual terrorism

Following the killing of a soldier at the War Memorial in Ottawa, Canada, and the killing of the alleged terrorist, the Canadian government launched a massive attack on the people and their rights. The capital city of Ottawa was brought to a halt, and hysteria and a reign of terror was unleashed on the people in the city in the name of finding other “terrorists”.

These events are taking place at a time when there is growing opposition in Canada to the anti social offensive of the ruling class of Canada, and its active participation in imperialist wars under the leadership of the US.

The Harper government has been “justifying” that sending armed forces to carry out regime change in Syria, allegedly to eliminate the ISIS, is in the “national interest” of Canada. The Canadian government is carrying out incessant propaganda that the main danger to Canada comes from “young jihadis”, and the latest events are being used to bolster this propaganda.

A series of laws are presently before the Canadian Parliament which give further powers to the police and armed forces to attack the rights of people. These are being opposed by the working class and people. The terrorist strike is being used to justify pushing through these laws.

What people of Canada and the world are witnessing is a state of anarchy and violence being imposed by US imperialism and its allies, including the Canadian bourgeoisie. The US imperialists and their allies are trying to take over various countries through the use of force, in the name of their “national interest”, no matter what the consequences are to others and to the cause of world peace. The events in Canada are further confirmation how individual terrorism and state terrorism both serve the imperialists and their drive towards fascism and war, and are against the interests of the working masses.
