Quebec provincial police are currently investigating a group that has claimed responsibility for bombing a Canadian Forces recruitment centre in Trois-Rivieres.
The group, known as Résistance internationaliste, reportedly sent an email to media Friday stating their opposition to Canadian military practices.

The International Resistance Initiative (IRI - French: Initiative de résistance internationaliste) is an alleged terrorist organization that first surfaced in December 2004.[citation needed] Based on communiqués believed to originate from the group, the IRI appears to hold socialist, environmentalist and anti-American views. The group has claimed responsibility for three attacks, all on Canadian soil.

[edit] Hydro tower bombing
In 2004, shortly before U.S. President George W. Bush's visit to Canada, a Hydro-Québec electric tower near the Canada-U.S. border in the province of Québec was damaged by explosive charges detonated at its base. The CBC reported that a message, purportedly from the IRI and issued to the La Presse and Le Journal de Montréal newspapers and the CKAC radio station, stated that the attack had been carried out to "denounce the 'pillaging' of Quebec's resources by the United States."[1]
[edit] Car firebombing
On Friday, August 4, 2006, a car belonging to Carol Montreuil, a spokesman for the Canadian Petroleum Products Institute, exploded in the town of Thérèse-De Blainville near Montréal, Québec. After having initially concluded that the explosion was the result of an electrical malfunction, the Sûreté du Québec provincial police force ordered an investigation by its anti-terrorism branch when a number of media outlets received an email from a source claiming to be the IRI. The email stated that the group had carried out the attack in protest against the actions of oil companies, in particular the alleged funding of "an imperialist army which is committing barbarous acts", an apparent reference to the war in Iraq. The CBC reported that the same email also contained accusations against the oil companies of consumer abuse and environmental degradation.[2] On August 18th of the same year, the Sûreté du Québec confirmed that the car was indeed firebombed, as claimed by the email.

[edit] Canadian Forces recruiting office
The IRI has also allegedly claimed the responsibility of planting a bomb at a recruiting station of the Canadian Armed Forces in Trois-Rivières, Quebec. At 2:37 a.m., on July 2 2010 a call was placed to the Trois-Rivières municipal police force stating there was a bomb at the recruiting station. At 3 a.m., the bomb exploded, but no one was injured according to local newspaper Le Nouvelliste. [4]
Well, if they (whoever they are) are against parade practices, then they certain aren't members of The Royal Canadian Regiment! PROPATRIA!57Chevy said:Quote from the article:
"is opposed to Canada’s military practices"
I have to wonder exactly which military practices they could be referring to. What?...range practices?.....parade practices?
.....Oh....I see,
a type of coverall statement making for a no-win situation. It seems any reason is good enough
for these nut cases.

My mind is realing at such a logical leap of faith.
