According to CSIS, attack on Canada is "now probable" (http://www.cbc.ca/story/canada/national/2006/05/10/attack-probable.html).

*POLL WARNING*

Now why would they attack a nation they can use as a base of operations? The lax Canadian immigration policies are great for getting in your jihad buddies. Why would they want to risk Canada from actually having a good immigration policy?

This is precisely why we need four walls around the US, not just one. And a ceiling, in case they decide to start catapaulting people in.

One word:

AFGHANISTAN


As for immigration policy, it's not lax, it's screwed. It's not Canada's job to protect your turf btw, instead, why don't you Saran (R) wrap your friggin country. Works great against the so-called "illegals" too.

Why would terrorists attack Canada? They don't support Zionist Israel.

Because of our bacon.

Seems to me that you'd like that idea. What a negative-vibe merchant.

I'm not going to fear because the mountees will protect them.

You really think the only reason the arabs have issues with us is because of Israel?

Its flat and not jihad friendly... no hills to hide in like real bacon

But they sure aren't going to use handguns or rifles, after all those require a PERMIT and we KNOW that TERRORISTS will OBEY THE LAW.

Maybe Canada will belly up to the bar and accept a larger part of the WOT. Heck, maybe they'll send a few warship around the globe with the USN? Tag team? (No, not across the great lakes, I mean across the OCEAN)

You're touching the US. That's enough of a reason for them.

They're all too preoccupied with the US to divert their attention to us. I feel pretty safe up here.

Yes, we're not doing anything in the war against terrorism, it's not like we've helped out in the war in Afghanistan or anything. Yep, we're a bunch of lazy asses who are supporting the terrorists.

A ceiling? Are you crazy? They'll just burrow in from above. Or use the chimney, like Santa does. Only instead of gifts for good children, it's low wage employment. Didn't you see Aliens? They came in from the space between the ceiling and the roof, climbing upside down in a swarm. That's exactly what foreigners will do. No, we need a series of large, manned ringed towers, with billions of upwards-pointing metal spikes on the reinforced rooftop, booby traps, armed laser towers.

Your heart is in the right spot, but you're not thinking thoroughly.

IIRC, the Prime Minister doesn't even have bodyguards. Unlike some political leaders (US, Russia, UK, etc) the PM of Canada doesn't have any protection at all.

You could probably assume that a high profile unguarded target would be their first choice.

If you were talking South American terrorists sure. Not really Al Qeadas S.O.P. though. They tend towards killing as many random Jane and John Q Public types as they can in a single incident rather than killing people they might dislike for some reason. It apparantly is more effective at producing terror and news coverage

They might be cunning and attack Mexico and make it look like it was the US National Guard

If they MUST, I insist that they have the decency to take out Harper and attack 24 Sussex Drive when he's asleep there.

Hello? What about the East Coast?

Canada does not stop at Montréal, you know.

Seriously, Halifax was on the top ten list of spots in North America for the Russians to nuke if the Cold War ever came to that. If Vancouver's port makes it onto you list, the Haligonian one ought to as well.

[Although on the upside, the East escaping a hitlist is not so bad]


Regardless, I picked Young Street.

And about the "lax immigration laws" I ask you this: How many of the Sept. 11 terrorists came through Canada?
-What is that you say?
NONE.
I mean come on, Canada has done a fine job keeping herself and the US safe so far. What's with all the unfounded criticism?

A moose!

The symbol of Canada!

Or perhaps a maple tree!

They're going to blow up all the syrup!


Probably the CN Tower though. It has the same symbolic value as the WTC, and if they hit it just right, it might fall on the stadium.

Figure that Spain was attacked for less.

Canada has been very prominent in Afghanistan with military forces.

Canada would be an easy target - far easier than the US.

well at least they would get the streets dirty...canada is to damn clean!

How about this? It is in today's news (May 18):

Windsor, Ont., has a new weapon in the battle to keep its streets clean: portable ashtrays.

They're plastic, the size of a dental floss dispenser with a snap-shut lid, and they are free.

They're also flame retardant, meaning smokers can stub out their butt in the tiny boxes and throw them into the next garbage can they come across.

They're a small weapon in the war against garbage, but Janice Dama, Windsor's clean city co-ordinator, says they'll make a big difference.

"You can spend an hour just cleaning up cigarette butts and still it doesn't look like you've accomplished a lot because there are so many of them," she told CBC News. "They're lightweight, they get in the crevices, they'll blow around, you know, they travel. They're one of the hardest things to collect."

There are also lots and lots of them. Thousands of smokers toss their butts onto the street, where they blow around and accumulate in the gutters and grass.

Windsor is so tired of the cigarette litter that it has joined an international campaign to eliminate butts altogether, by handing out portable ashtrays at the major city intersections.

The ashtrays are used extensively in Australia, where they're manufactured. They're also being used in England, Israel, Malta, South Africa and the United States.

At least one Windsor smoker says he'll use the ashtray, at least when he's downtown.

"It does look bad a lot of the times, with all of the cigarette butts and stuff like that," Bob Cowan said. "I'll use it when I'm downtown, anyway."

I mean come on, Canada has done a fine job keeping herself and the US safe so far. What's with all the unfounded criticism?
Don't worry, it's just the ignorant americans that are so stupid. Many of them are sensible people who don't buy into propaganda and finger pointing. Bush likes to blame Canada a lot for things that we didn't do and then not apologize for it when it turns out he was wrong.

At any rate, I think the BC ferry was mentioned because it's kinda a mass transit thing and there are more people moving on that then say, a ferry going to PEI. Al Quaeda seems to like picking popular mass transit systems and killing lots of people in one go, out East isn't too heavily populated, though an attack over there may be strategic, it won't produce the right sort of body count.

Canada would be an easy target - far easier than the US.
Why on earth would you think that?

Canada has two things going for it; We recognise the differences between various types of foreigners, and we treat them as individuals.

No brown skinned portuguese is going to get arrested for suspicion of terrorism for speaking the wrong language.

If they MUST, I insist that they have the decency to take out Harper and attack 24 Sussex Drive when he's asleep there.

Back off, you bloody liberal.

Oh no, don't take out Harper, we all love him so dearly.

Well, according to the polls, a lot of Canadians do.

Why would thay attack Canada?! Last I heared, Canada was the Western World's Preinvation Afganastan.

Note: Number of Al-Qaeda opertives, not goverment tipe.

You really think the only reason the arabs have issues with us is because of Israel?

One word: YES!

Seriously though, fundamentalist islamics are nuts. They live by a doctrine of active conversion which means they're required to recruit and convert new followers just like christianity, and yes, they do hate the western way of life....but all of this on it's own is not enough for even nutty islamics to blow themselves and skyscrapers up. There is one crucial part of the puzzle that has never been mentioned, and thats because the zionists and neo cons within the US government would prefer that you don't know.......America's unbridled support of Israel, both in policy and militarily. THIS is why they really hate us. THIS is why they attacked us, and why they will continue to over and over again until the US treats Israel like any other nation and stops granting it favored status....But this will never happen, because the US is now a ZOG, a zionist occupied government. The attacks will keep on coming, and the US president will keep on lying, making up nonsense like "They hate us for our freedoms", and dimwitted Americans will keep believing that and granting the zionists freedom to wage unlimited war in the middle east, all for the continued protection of Israel.

....America's unbridled support of Israel, both in policy and militarily. THIS is why they really hate us. THIS is why they attacked us, and why they will continue to over and over again until the US treats Israel like any other nation and stops granting it favored status....

I agree.

But this will never happen, because the US is now a ZOG, a zionist occupied government.

This is the part where your paranoid nazi melodrama makes me disgusted to be communicating with you.

That's American right-wing terrorists who want to blow that up, Timothy McVeigh sorts.

Back off, you bloody liberal.

The Liberals are twats, but I'd shoot Steven Harper myself.

:mp5:

You're right. :(

I couldn't morally justify it to myself. Not until the state demonstrates it is a threat to my well-being. Then, I'd shoot him. :D

How do you guys think the political fallout of a terrorist attack would play? I'd imagine Harper would get an original bump as Canadians rallied, but he would have to play it really carefully. I think the Canadian exposure to American news would hurt any attempts he made to institute anything like wire-tapping or detaining suspected terrorists. Canadians have been watching from the outside as the American government has used the shadow of 9/11 to engage in all sorts of security precautions, and our outsider status on those affairs has made us particularly skeptical. I believe very few Canadians support the American government's curtailing of freedoms to provide greater security for its people, and in the event of an attack on Canada, the people would be wary about any changes Harper proposed for fear that he would just be following the Bush model, which we dislike. A terrorist attack gives the Harper government a lot of rope to work with, but also enough to hang itself if they aren't careful.

Canadians are a tough buch of polite people who generaly care about just peace and beer and live and let live..as long as you do not piss them off..then they get all American on your ass. What would those nitwits gain by attacking Canada ? canada is one of the best peace keeping nations in the WORLD and is commited almost like no other to its UN duties..

I think I'd be almost MORE pissed to see them get hit than if we here in the US got it again . And not only because I have family there .

Its a greaat country with some great people ...some real whack jobs ...but what country doesnt have its whako's ?

And they send me MOOSEHEAD...DONT BE MESSING WITH MY BEER .

As long as they bomb something... Except for us. We're buddies! :D

No brown skinned portuguese is going to get arrested for suspicion of terrorism for speaking the wrong language.

What if say hypothetically a couple dozen brown skinned Portuguese started running around and killed 3 thousand Canadian citizens? Hell 4 or 5 Canadian citizens got killed by a few biker gangs and the whole country went into a tizzy. Dont get on a high horse till terrorism kills thousands of your citizens THEN tell me about how holier than though Canada is.

What are you talking about, we all know terrorists are only Islamic fundamentalists from the Middle East. :rolleyes:

Portuguese citizens dont tend to be militant islamics. As in, 99% of them are christian. The Language of Portugal sounds nothing like the Arab/islamic tongues. Portuguese people look nothing like Middle easterners. Portugese dont dress like middle easterners.

We dont lump brown skinned people all in one big pile. If Canada had a problem with a certain ethnic of social group, We would concentrate our efforts on that group, not on everyone who isnt Canadian.

I know a lot of americans like to say "Its better to be safe than sorry." but guess what? That isnt true. "Its better to be educated than sorry."

Oil fields. That'd fuck up both Canada and America at the same time. That's got to be tempting for your average terrorist type.

They're all too preoccupied with the US to divert their attention to us. I feel pretty safe up here.
You shouldn't. If a nuke were to blow up in New York or Detroit it'd tickle you, too.

And they send me MOOSEHEAD...DONT BE MESSING WITH MY BEER .

What if the terrorists targeted Moosehead Breweries?

WHAT IF? WHY AREN'T WE PROTECTING THE BREWERIES!?

Portuguese aren't Arabs. It wasn't Portuguese who killed 3 000 Americans...

Most likely, mass public transport systems. That seems to be their pattern.

Why would terrorists attack Canada? They don't support Zionist Israel.
Yes, they do.

You could probably assume that a high profile unguarded target would be their first choice.
Al-Qaeda don't seem to go in for assassinations. They prefer to just kill as many regular civilians as possible rather than go for a single high-profile target.

An attack on Canada is exceedingly unlikely, however if they were going to I'd wager it'd be a finacial institution.

They would strike at the heart, symbols of capitalism, like... West Edmonton Mall!

(Oh, noes! think of the dolphins...)

No, if they went to Edmonton, the police would spot them as non-whites and take them for a "midnight ride" about 50 km out of town and drop them off in sub-freezing darkness to attempt (and probably die trying) to walk back.

Something like 84% of our economy is tied up in exports to the United States. If they decided to secure that border for us, we'd be screwed.

The terrorists so far have demonstrated a willingness to ignore actual strateic targets and instead go after symbolic targets. The WTC wasn't nearly as important to the US as the oil tanker docks in Louisiana, and probably harder to attack, but the terrorists went after the WTC because it made a bigger statement.

As such, the Alberta oil fields are probably pretty safe. Something more symbolic like the CN Tower or SkyDome while the NY Yankees are there would be more likely.

I hope it's the ferry system. It can't get any worse, so an attack might actually make it better.

Portuguese people look nothing like Middle easterners.

How do you define "Middle East"?

Portugese dont dress like middle easterners.

This is - to variable extent - fairly true in their respective homelands, but do not Middle Easterners in the West tend to don Western garb?

I hope it's the ferry system. It can't get any worse, so an attack might actually make it better.
Which ferry system?

OOO, hopefully they replace it with a bridge too!

Turned out quite well for Germany.

The BC Ferry system's last foray into shipbuilding was an absolute disaster.

How do you define "Middle East"?

First of all, not part of Europe, as Portugal happens to be.

Essentially the stretch of land Southeast of Europe, Northwest of Africa, West of India, and South of Russia.

The BC Ferry system's last foray into shipbuilding was an absolute disaster.
I know it was. That is why I suggested a bridge, even though we spend way too much building them.

I know it was. That is why I suggested a bridge, even though we spend way too much building them.

Plus you'd need like 20 bridges to go all the places the BC Ferries do.

But they sure aren't going to use handguns or rifles, after all those require a PERMIT and we KNOW that TERRORISTS will OBEY THE LAW.

Actually, yes, they will. If they're in prison they can't exactly carry out acts of terrorism. There's a reason why the 9/11 hijackers were in this country legally.

Um, this is Edmonton we're talking about, not Winnipeg. :p

It's impractical, expensive, not good for the enviroment, and won't last forever. I rather relax in a ferry ride than driving non-stop in a horrible weather. A tunnel is not a good idea either.

BTW, we seriously need new ferries up here before another one sink.

Yeah, the bridges are horrible ideas, but the only reason we're thinking about them is because BC Ferry is so unsuccessful as an enterprise, even though everybody on the islands rely on it to get to the mainland. Sell the company to an American company and watch the profits soar. :rolleyes:

I live near a metric tonne of bridges and a few ferries. Ferries are a pain in the ass for commuters (it takes a couple minutes to merge and cross the bridge, while the ferry has a 15 minute wait before a 15 minute ride), are more expensive (fuel ain't cheap), and tend to break down less.
