On Monday 27 year old Ayanle Hassan Ali set out to kill 3 Canadian soldiers in a frenzied knife attack.   

This was no random stabbing.   It was a targeted  attack on uniformed Canadian soldiers on duty at a Canadian forces facility.   The Muslim who tried to kill the soldiers says he did it in the name of Allah.

Two soldiers were seriously wounded.   Imagine the worry now amongst families of Canada's service men and women. 

Ali faces:

• Three charges of attempted murder.
•  Two charges of aggravated assault.
• Three charges of assault with a weapon 
• One count of carrying a weapon dangerous to the public.

So how did Canada's Prime Minister Trudeau respond to this attack on his country's armed forces on home soil?

For the first day after the attack he did nothing.

Then yesterday Justin Trudeau sent a Tweet wishing the soldiers a speedy recovery after they were "injured".  

No mention that they were wounded in an attack on the Canadian Armed Forces.

No recognition that they were attacked in the name of Allah.  

Just a motherhood statement, with a Hallmark Greeting Card "get well soon" line.

Canadians - and the @CanadianForces - will not be intimidated by terror & hate. May the CAF members injured yesterday make a full recovery.

Let's all hope they do.

Contrast the reaction from Canada's head of government when a Mosque re-opened a few weeks ago after fire damage was repaired.   The red carpet came out for a Prime Ministerial visit, speeches of support, a moment's silence for Muslim victims of Muslim terror, pledges of money and a message to non-Muslim citizens that the people associated with the Mosque were "showing Canadians how it's done".

Here are a few headlines from 17 January this year.   Trudeau says  "thank you to the Muslim community for showing their exemplary Canadian-ness" and gave a Prime Ministerial vow of more support for Muslims.

And the attention grabbing  call for a moment's silence for Muslim victims before speaking.

When a Muslim attacked and tried to kill members of the armed forces, Trudeau spoke of  injured CAF members without saying how they were wounded. But make no mistake about the Mosque fire, this was a hate-crime calling for a choreographed Prime Ministerial show of support.

Trudeau said the mosque "showed Canada how it's done" with its positive attitude.  

Just like the Parramatta Mosque in Sydney showed Curtis Cheng's murderer Farhar Jabar how it's done - NSW Police say Muslim Raban Alou met Jabar at the female section of Parramatta Mosque, where there were no CCTV cameras, and handed him the revolver in the hours before the 15-year-old committed his violent act of terror. 

Here's Trudeau speaking at the official opening of the repairs to the building.

But to the members of his own defence forces recovering after the attack on Monday?

Get well soon.   You're on your own.
