Mississauga bombing not a hate crime?

CBC: 2 men sought after bomb blast at Mississauga restaurant wounds 15

Peel police: "There is no indication that this is a terrorist act, no indication that this is a hate crime."

Not a "hate crime"?  It was hardly a "love" crime!

Not a "terrorist act"? The victims didn't feel terrorized?

Do the Mississauga police reserve those terms only for Muslims who kill?

Where are their brains to even imply such a thing?

Oh, I think we can rule in "hate", allright.  And I think we can rule in "terror".

Children were terrorized and there was no love in those bombs.  

One of those perps had "fair skin", so chances are good so does the other.

Notice, the word "racist" has been carefully avoided so far.

Does this say something about the racial attitudes of our police forces?  I hope not, because it sounds as if they are racist ... and if the perps are "white" ... well, at least the Mississauga mayor was willing to say that it's a "heinous crime".

Face if folks -- it was an Indian restaurant, not a Tim Hortons. It doesn't take much imagination to assume it was a racist, anti-immigrant act that included both TERROR and HATE.

Face it also that Canada has a long history of white racism, and as recent as July 2017 ...

• longtime leaders of Canada’s white supremacy movement paraded into a Toronto public library to remember a lawyer they considered a hero. In spite of outcry from human rights advocates and calls from the mayor of Toronto to shut it down, they gathered in the name of free expression.

Sure looks like there's a little bit of hate going on there.  One can only hope there were no mayors or police officers under those sheets!
