Post by Mark Carney

The shots fired toward the United States Consulate in Toronto early this morning are a reprehensible act of violence and attempt at intimidation. I am relieved that no one was injured.   The RCMP and federal agencies will devote all needed resources to support the Toronto Police Service in their investigation, and to ensure that the perpetrators of these violent acts are identified and brought to the full weight of justice.    This weekend, our government’s Incident Response Group reviewed potential changes to the threat landscape in Canada and underlined the importance of continued vigilance to enhance domestic security.    Canada’s new government has taken bold action to strengthen law enforcement and the Criminal Code. We will use every tool available to ensure the safety and security of our communities.
