Canada's prime minister has vowed to redouble the nation's fight against "terrorist organisations" after a soldier was gunned down in the capital and parliament was stormed by an assailant. "Canada will never be intimidated," Stephen Harper told the nation in a televised address yesterday.

"In fact, this will lead us to strengthen our resolve and redouble our efforts and those of national security agencies to take all necessary steps to identify and counter threats and keep Canada safe here at home," he said.
