Seems the youth of Toronto are just as disenfranchised and attention seeking as any other easily misled group, but even understanding the urge of youth to stand up against the perceived injustices of the world, nothing makes sense about setting bombs in Canada.
True, Toronto is the least Canadian part of Canada (as the biggest city), it always gets the ribbing of being too big, too rude, too american ;P Perhaps, but I'v always considered us safer and more reasonable than most of the world.
These were local guys, from the GTA and surrounds, probably in mid/lower class (speculation) neighbourhoods. How did things get so wrong for them? Do they not understand what it is to be Canadian? People around the world would give up a limb to be in their place! I'm sure Canadian Muslims have no grudge against Torontonians - or do they, sections of them, and we have no idea?
With only a couple of weeks until Canada Day, I'm extra sad to hear about this. I hope everyone is thinking about how we can share the great things about being Canadian with everyone.
Exploding things is cool, but Canadians dying is so not.
