PoliticsCanadian Paliament Building Under ATTACK by naijarates(op): 5:15pm On Oct 22, 2014
(Reuters) - A gunman shot and wounded a soldier in Ottawa and then entered the country's parliament buildings chased by police, with at least 30 shots fired, according to media and eyewitness reports on Wednesday.

CBC TV said that a suspected gunman was shot dead inside the parliament building. It was not clear if he was acting alone.

Ottawa police said they were actively looking for one or more suspects.

Parliament was locked down and Prime Minister Stephen Harper had left the building safely as police converged on the area.

As the situation developed, CBC News said in a tweeted news alert that more shots were fired near parliament and the gunman was still at large.

Police and tactical teams converged on the area, crouching behind police cars and along fences.

Police cleared streets around parliament and cleared people from the area, shouting “it’s still active.”

People in downtown Ottawa should stay away from windows and off roofs due to an "ongoing police incident," the Royal Canadian Mounted Police cautioned in a statement

The wounded soldier was taken into an ambulance where medical personnel could be seen giving him cardio-pulmonary resuscitation.

The shooting comes two days after an Islamic convert ran down two Canadian soldiers with his car, killing one, near Montreal, before being shot and killed by police.

A construction worker on the scene told Reuters he heard a gunshot, and then saw a man dressed in black with a scarf over his face running towards parliament with a gun.

The man stopped a black car at gunpoint and hijacked it, construction worker Scott Walsh told Reuters. The driver got out safely, then the man drove the car to the Center Block on Parliament Hill, where construction work is underway.

The suspected gunman rushed past a woman with a child in a stroller, who ran away screaming. He did not attack the woman or child, Walsh said.

Center Block is the main building at Parliament Hill, a sprawling complex of buildings and open space in downtown Ottawa. It contains the House of Commons and Senate chambers as well as the offices of some members of parliament, senators, and senior administration for both legislative houses.

A Globe and Mail reporter in Center Block on Parliament Hill tweeted that the building was under lockdown after "at least one shooter burst in and opened fire".

One member of parliament, Mark Strahl, tweeted from inside parliament: "Very tense situation in Ottawa this morning. Multiple gun shots fired outside of our caucus room. I am safe and in lockdown. Unbelievable."

Why is it that whenever someone asks for a simple business solution, all they get is phone numbers and emails or ebook sellers? I thought this is a forum where information is shared freely in the open. Why must people have to call or send emails to people they dont know ?

Politics2015 Elections Should Be Postponed by naijarates(op): 11:15am On Oct 22, 2014
Our economy is in a very challenging time with oil prices dropping. We do not have enough in our reserves to cushion the effects if this continues to happen. Everybody is busy running after candidates for their selfish and personal interested, without paying attention to what is going on with the economy. I think this election should be moved to 2016 so we can have time to take the necessary steps to ensure that our economy overcomes this storm.

This 2015 election is a big distraction. What will it profit to have a winner in a collapsed economy. The politicians we are killing for have enough for themselves and future generations in-case of a famine.

Christianity EtcWere There Homosexuals And Lesbians During The Time Of JESUS? by naijarates(op): 11:48am On Oct 21, 2014
From the time of JESUS in then bible, he encountered fornicators, adulterers, fraudsters, demon possessed people etc. But through out his time and that of the disciples, there was no encounter with lesbians or homosexuals. So i am wondering is the act of lesbianism and homosexuality a sign that the world is coming to an end again? Is mankind trying to provoke GOD to destroy the world like he did Sodom and Gomorrah ?
