WNU Editor: A gathering of G7 foreign and security ministers is taking place in Toronto right now .... G7 ministers sit down in Toronto to a full plate of world troubles (CBC). Watching the Canadian foreign and security minister answering questions right now. No one wants to say it (or ask the question directly) .... but everyone is thinking the word terrorism right now. What's my take .... too early to confirm anything right now.
