Apparent contradiction

In the wake of the incident, the Canadian government introduced a bill to expand the powers and courtroom anonymity of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's spy agency. The bill was slated to be introduced the day of the shootings, which postponed it.

OK if the word "introduced" means into parliament, this may be technically consistent. But the text should be written in a clearer way, if, indeed, this has any place in the article.

Example:

The Canadian government had already prepared a bill to expand the powers and courtroom anonymity of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), Canada's spy agency, which was due to be introduced the day of the shootings, and was postponed by the event.

Funeral Reactions

Not sure the right way to phrase this, but the Canadian funeral services industry also responded to Cpl. Cirillo's death. He was buried in a Victoriaville "Dominion Maple" casket (donated by Victoriaville Caskets), which is the same casket chosen by the Canadian government for the unknown Soldier in Ottawa.

Mother's opinion

I do not care what his mother thought and I think the sentence "In his mother's opinion, the attack was the "last desperate act" of someone with a mental disorder who felt trapped.[14]" is hearsay and does not add anything to this page. I vote for its removal. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.116.255.123 (talk) 02:42, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We don't decide these things on subjective opinions. We have policies at Wikipedia for inclusion or not. We also don't vote, we work towards consensus. Alaney2k (talk) 16:43, 23 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Unencycplopaedic slang

The statement that "the downtown core of Ottawa was placed on lockdown" is unencyclopaedic slang, and poor English. "Central Ottawa was subject to unprecedented security measures" would be a more accurate statement.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:24, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

what is wrong with lockdown? A similar thing happened after the Boston Marathon bombing and the same term was used. All buildings closed etc. Legacypac (talk) 07:49, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Lockdown" is, in fact, the term used by the CBC, National Post, Global Television, The Globe and Mail, Ottawa Citizen, CTV, BBC, Yahoo!/Agence France-Presse, etc. In fact, the usage of "lockdown" to describe what happened is pretty much universal. Resolute 14:41, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
"Central Ottawa was subject to unprecedented security measures" is so vague as to be meaningless. Were there more police officers on patrol? Tanks in the street? Mounties going door-to-door? "Lockdown" is a common and easily understood word. Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 03:51, 8 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Stopping member

What does "A member praised Zehaf-Bibeau as a martyr after prayers, leading to the police stopping him for national security reasons the next day" mean? How do police "stop" someone for national security reasons? Arrest, detain, stop in the street?Royalcourtier (talk) 07:35, 7 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
