It has been almost a month since the Canadian city of Toronto woke up to the news that 17 suspects had been arrested in an anti-terror operation. The suspects had been caught in a police sting after they tried to buy a suspiciously large quantity of fertiliser that could be used for bomb-making. Canada, the country north of America considered synonymous with the word peaceful by some or boring by others, suddenly hummed with debate on issues such as multiculturalism, the radicalisation of young people, and most importantly, the effects that global politics and world events have on Canadian society."
