SUV Kills 9 at Festival Before Crowd Grabs Suspect; Canadian officials say they don't suspect terrorism 

So a car deliberately drove itself into a crowd, killed 9 people, and then the crowd grabbed the car, since it's the car that's the suspect. Also, notice how quickly officials shrugged off any notion of terrorism. Yet:

• The driver "just slammed the pedal down and rammed into hundreds of people," said Kris Pangilinan. "It was like seeing a bowling ball hit—all the bowling pins and all the pins flying up in the air."

Well, that sure sounds deliberate to me. 

"Acting Police Chief Steve Rai described the person arrested as a 'lone male' in his thirties." Did they ever think this could be a lone wolf attack, the definition of which is "often spontaneous and difficult to predict, making them challenging to prevent"?

If Canada is anything like America, I'm sure we'll be hearing all sorts of excuses for this "SUV attack", and if it is terrorism, we'll be hearing less about it.
