#1 Also looking the other way, allowing the potential perpetrators to "make it to the US border" ie Mexico, has scored some brownie points for the Canadians.

#2 As much as I hate the whole idea, Canada badly needs a 9-11 type disaster to wake them up.

As it is, they're asleep at the switch.

#4 Canada doesn't need a 9-11, but they will probablay get them anyway. Canada has passed the 2% muslim population mark. Given their insane political correctness and immigration policy (worse than US), they will hit 4% in the soon. From European experience, 4% seems the threshold population when muslims feel confident enough to suppress the local population.

The US needs to take self protection measures and scrutinize people and cargo crossing the borders. Better any future Ahmad Ressams are stopped at the border.

You're forgetting that Canada is essentially a country of immigrants from all over the world. In fact soon it will be that 50% of all residents will have been born outside of Canada.

Not long ago it was the Italians, Irish, Portuguese, and now (besides the Pakistanis), we have Russians, Poles, Chinese, Vietnamese, Indians, Latin Americans, Jamaicans (!!!).

You think these people will take kindly to having their neighbourhoods or places of work blown up? The 3rd generation WASP might fold into dhimmitude, but not these people I can assure you.

Don't forget that Canada is not the U.S. in terms of demographics. We're not all WASPs either.

#7 So?

So? So then why do you think that your immigration policies are better than ours, if you're saying that you are essentially the same as us?

The reason why you're hearing about Canadians being apathetic is because the media thinks that we are, and they don't know immigrants. It is one thing to be anti-American, and vote Liberal and NDP, but it is quite another to tolerate disruptions to your overall well-being.

Why is it that you don't hear about Muslim students being harassed at the University of Toronto in the media? In the heart of Liberal Toronto, and a Liberal educational institution at that. If Canadians are all dhimmis, why did that mosque get vandalized? Canadians will tolerate this up to a point.
