Terror in T.O.

Ummm. Yea. Speaking of thinness, Doesn't hiring an assassin show intent? Does purchasing a vehicle show intent to cause 'careless driving causing death'? Is thinking about hiring an assassin 'First Degree Murder'?
The criminal code of Canada only shows you the law. Judicial decisions form 'common law'.
As Rev Blair pointed out, a Farmer is quite capable of buying this quantity of fertilizer, without arousing suspicion. Anyone who can't guess the intended use of this fertilizer needs a clue, but what did they actually do with it?
And you call me foolish.
BTW, namecalling is frowned upon here.

Exactally. Possetion of fertilizer is not illegal. Fertilizer is not an explosive.

<blockquote>When is fertilizer an explosive? In the case of the fertilizer in question, when it's mixed with diesel fuel.</blockquote>
<br><br>
Actually, the ammonium nitrate in the fertilizer is not an explosive at all, it's instead an oxidizer that can be used to enhance an explosive by supplying oxygen for the explosive reaction. You can use other substances as an oxidizer, such as potassium permanganate or potassium chlorate.
<br><br>
In an ammonium nitrate fuel bomb, the reaction being enhanced by the ammonium nitrate is the burning fuel, causing it to burn more rapidly than normal in an environment that quickly becomes starved of oxygen.
<br><br>
The US military uses ammonium nitrate to create massive fuel air bombs, and such bombs are not used as a high exlosive for demolishing buildings and so on, instead they are used to kill masses of people by compression shock wave and a starvation of oxygen.
<br><br>
The Oklamhoma bomb, was made highly explosive by using nitromethane (a fuel used in racing cars) as the reactive substance, enhanced further by a small amount of ammonium nitrate oxidizer.

A few minutes of basic research dug all that up
