Today I watched a segment on the CBC talking about how Canada is one of the top countries listed by Al-Qaida. They started saying how we have had three major terrorist attacks thwarted by CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service, Canada's CIA).

Then they began talking about how easy it was for this asian guy to sneak aboard a plane and get to Canada. The man used a mask and disguised himself as a US citizen, the Chinese Government cleared him and the Canadian Security Team didn't really varify his identity allowing him to just walk on the plane.

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, commented in an interview that terrorist threats cross his table daily. He said that the story of the man from asia should have never been leaked to the media.

The CBC went on to talk about how Canada is hated by most terrorist organisations and is listed on various hit lists.

So this got me wondering, if were so hated by the terrorist groups and daily terrorist threats pass by the Public Safety Ministers desk. Why hasn't their been a single successful terrorist attack in Canada? Is CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) really that good that they are able to thwart every single terrorist attempt.

Or is an attack inevitable? Will Canada eventually get hit, why hasn't Canada been hit yet? What do you think?

Dude, are you complaining or something? Maybe the CSIS really is that good. So quit your whining, stop worrying and enjoy the bomb!

I guess the terrorist would like to piss off the US by blowing up our hat... It could happen?

Complaining about not being bombed? What kind of question is that. Of course I'm not complaining. Infact I do really trust CSIS they are a very good intelligence agency, they said their were no weapons of mass destruction (Nukes) in Iraq and we decided based on their information and our governments stance to not invade Iraq. Saved us alot of lives.

Just wondered what other people thought, maybe I should have made a gloating topic instead. "Canada better at protecting its citizens then the rest of the world". I would have recieved some very interesting comments

I'd say, they are taking a page of fear mongering right off fox news.

Canada must thank bears. Fundamentalists are bears and they tenderly love other bears, they'd never risk to accidentally kill any of them, so, as Canada is full of bears, it's pretty safe.

What do you mean by that? That were a country full of terrorists?

Personally, I would say that Canada hasn't been hit by a terrorist attack because it wouldn't have much of a psychological impact outside of Canada ... Basically, we're not a big enough or important enough country for a terrorist strike to really inspire fear outside of Canada.

That and you wouldn't kill very many people. Canada isn't a very highly populated country.

See, you Canadians are smart. Romanians on the other hand...
