Different country, different way of handling situations. Similar to the UK, Canada has many things to worry about going forward in the war against terrorism. Not all terrorists are easy to stop. This terrorist, though, seemed to be hoping for suicide by cop. Instead, he will rot in prison forever. I'm okay with that.
We should be careful not to 'generalize' every situation in either Canada or the U.S. We have certainly had our up share up here of cops shooting first and also using excessive force. Every situation is different and none of us were there facing what that particular cop was facing. In the end - the suspect was apprehended and this will prove invaluable - especially if he has any links to organized terror.
Stopped and confronted by Canadian police. Diver of van points (as if to shoot) at police officer. Officer does not shoot.
So, is it shoot first in USA then diagnose situation. Or in Canada is it diagnose situation and not shoot if not required?
Canada barely enforces murder laws or any laws, other than bilingual violations or hate speech. Karla Homulka, a bloody murderer who committed her crimes with Paul Bernardo in the late 1990's or early 2000's is already out. They have a real concern for the "inner child" of the murdered.
Not that Canada's any worse than California or New York these days.

If we're lucky he'll serve eight years. Trudeau the big-haired social worker will cure him of his mental illnesses.
If true that is sad. If I was a family member of one of the deceased I would sue the government.
It isn't true and there is no basis in what that poster wrote who btw, is known to politicize and take childish and silly pot shots at the leader of Canada and his so called lack of qualifications. We have no idea what were the motivations/intentions of the suspect. Now is not the time to needlessly and baselessly politicize this matter or speculate that the Canadian Justice system will be by default, lenient on this suspect. Call me naïve but I have faith that justice will be served in this case. Especially one where there will be a pretty solid and strong public outcry for justice. I also think everything possible will be done to get to the bottom of why the suspect did what he did. If he is linked to organized terror or an ideology or simply a desperate and angry individual - we will find out!
Those Canadians are so advanced: "Die first shoot later" as an official policy! Why didn't we think of that Personally, the only reason I would care about the gunman surviving would be to get more information out of him.
The suspect was pointing a cell phone at the police officer. Canadian police don't shoot at people pretending that a cell phone is a gun.
