In this piece I give several reasons why the October 22, 2014 apparent assault on the Canadian federal parliament is suspect and deserves deep and critical study. Just before publication of this article I made a start on such a study with the booklet, The October 22, 2014, Ottawa Shootings: Why Canadians Need a Public Inquiry (Sept. 1, 2015).

The presentation deals with Canadian examples of the intimidation of legislatures, in the War on Terror, by intelligence and security agencies.
