Stephen Harper: Paris Gunmen Assaulted Democracy Everywhere

The Canadian Press, 08 Jan, 2015 12:33 PM
    DELTA, B.C. — Prime Minister Stephen Harper says the international jihadist movement has declared war on anyone who does not share its views and countries that value openness.  
     
    Harper says the attack on a satirical newspaper in Paris was an attack on democracy but Canadians must remain vigilant as they loudly and clearly exercise their rights and freedoms.
     
    Police in Paris are hunting for two suspects after 12 people, mostly journalists, were killed at Charlie Hebdo's offices.
     
    Harper says the gunmen "assaulted democracy everywhere."
     
    He says demonstrations that have been held around the world have shown they will not be intimidated by jihadists.
     
    While in Delta, B.C., to make an announcement, Harper says Canadians stand with the people of France in their time of mourning.
