There have been 29 attacks on Canadian soil over its history by Armenian groups, Ugandan groups, Sikh groups, among others. However, not by a major terrorist organization as Al Qaida, therefore, Canada isn't prepared for such an attack.

Every other ally to America has been attacked, every other western nation I believe has been attaked in some way or another. Germany in Tunisia, Australia in Bali, among countless others.

It is going to occur.

I think not said:
I hope this report turns out to be nonsense, and that day never comes.

So do I.


We can't let our guard down.

Guard down. I am sorry to inform you but I was reading a report, but Canada's airports and seaways are sadly undermanned by RCMP officers over the past few yeas since September 11. And even if Harper puts more funding and more officers there, whose to say if a cell from some organization isn't already in Canada. They just don't arrive and explode things. They plan it out for months or even years possibly.

September 11 was years in the making.

The Canadian targets of Bin Laden: what is in the menu?
ired.com
16 November 2002
Except:
The war against the terrorism that seemed so far away from the sleepy Canadian homes may be on our doorsteps. Osama bin Laden, who decides where to hit according to its targets' values to the progress of the human civilization, has put Canada for the first time in his whish list.

At the same time the US Secretary of State has reportedly shared with his Canadian counterpart a list of possible targets*. We don't know what is exactly in Bin Laden's mind until he decides to strike but we know many things about at least some of the presumed targets in Canada and we know that if they are destroyed, this could damage the economic and social life in Canada.

The targets, numbered up to twenty-two, are very different by their size, symbolism, expected human casualties and economic consequences. Seven of them are situated in or very closely to Toronto, the Canada's biggest economic center. Other two are in Montreal; one is situated in Vancouver, one in Ottawa and one in Winnipeg.

Four of the targets are in fact Jewish synagogues, which underlines the anti-Semite symbolism of the radical Muslim movement. If these places of cult are hit during mass religious ceremonies, the victims could be counted by hundreds and even by thousands.

Another highly symbolic target is the Canadian National Tower in Toronto - the world's tallest building (553 m or 1,815 ft). The tower, classified as one of the Seven Wonders of the Modern World by the American Society of Civil Engineers, has been built in 1976. More than 6,000 people visit the tower every day, which makes it an ideal target for bloodthirsty terrorists. There is at least one more reason why the CN Tower has been put on the list of possible targets. If terrorists make the tower collapse, this could trigger an annihilation of the financial center of Toronto.

If the terrorists decide to repeat the strike on New York they may also look at Place Ville-Marie office and shopping center in Montreal (1,000,000 sq.feet), where tens of thousands of people work and pass by every day. The 43-floor center, which was built in 1962, at that time was the tallest building in the country.

Canada was on a list of Countries Bin Laden targeted..
America:Attacked-9/11
Australia:Attacked-Bali Bombings
Britain:Attacked-7/7 Bombings
Canada:Yet to be Attacked
Spain:Attacked-Madrid Bombings.

Bin Laden & Al Qaeda have time on their side to choose when and where Canada will be hit if that's their choice. This doesn't mean Canadians should live their lives in fear because if they do the Terrorists win..

I parrot the wishes above for this report to be found to be nonsense; however, Canada should be nonetheless prepared for whatever may happen. I would urge the Honourable Gordon O'Connor, P.C., M.P., the Member for Carleton—Mississippi Mills and the Minister of National Defence to take whatever steps as may be necessary to ascertain the severity of this supposed threat, and to ensure that the people of Canada are not put into a position of danger through negligence on the part of the new Government of Canada.

It is "now probable" that an Islamic extremist group will try to launch an attack on Canadian soil, the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service warns in a report just made public.


Maybe this will wake up a few minds....

Ya this is just what Harper needs to galvanize support for his program, it worked so well for Bush why wouldn't it work here. This is an American announcement anyway.

That wouldnt surprise me, now we have a guy like harper in charge, we cut funding the palestinians, and we are fighting a war, which is not ours, great.

.....or, we could see another 9-11, perperttraded by our own government to have more control on us, and make their fairy tail wars on the witches, i mean terrorist.

As you can see i don t trust any governement, especially conservators right wing, they are ready to do anything they can to get what they want.

If I recall, it was the Liberals who chose to support the Afgan mission. Why is it you need to focus all your hatred on Conservatives for this?

And yet further proof Dark Beaver has lost all touch with reality. Saved me the hassle of doing that myself Johnny, thanks :)

Is this the same report where Stockwell Day is quoted as saying "he isn't surprised" like he has some kind of insider knowledge.

Bienvenue à Canadian Content, Kyle Korleski!

If you ever need assistance with anything, I would be happy to assist you wherever needed through private messages — or, you can contact one of our Administrators or Moderators for whatever you may need (the staff of this place is a great bunch of people). The best way to get into things around here is to jump right in, and I am delighted to see you having done so.

In terms of your post, I agree that Canada, compared with a good many nations on Earth, is definitely more tolerant of varying religions and cultures. I would further agree that we are, indeed, easier to immigrate to than our neighbour to the South; however, I would venture to say that the efforts of terrorists on this world do not necessarily abide by any conventions of common sense that would seem to apply in this case.
