Canada has been your friendly northern neighbor for about 144 years, we have shared the longest undefended border in the world for quite some time, that being said

FUCK YOU AND STOP BLAMING CANADA FOR YOUR OWN INCOMPETENCE!!!!

Its NOT Canadas fault that terrorists enter your country and blow shit up! look at your own foreign policy ffs!

Lieberman... you are an idiot, oh yes, Canada is crawling with islamic militants, on every bloody corner of our major cities, chanting durka durka, death to america and rallying a huge army to come flooding through that undefended border! Osama is here too, hiding behind some sand dunes in Drumhellar, AB.

p.s.

This is in no way targeted at America or the general American public, you guys are all fantastic and I want to go to the Culinary Institute of America one day but seriously... your politicians are fucked up!

When Prime Minister Stephen Harper meets with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington on Friday, he must assure him the sky is not falling.

And he must tell American legislators to chill out, take a pill if necessary, but to avoid panic and knee-jerk responses.

Like demanding Canadians begin carrying U.S. visas, for example.

That would be a trade and commerce killer.

And totally unnecessary.

Almost 10 years after 9/11, and 144 years after Canada constituted itself as America's northern neighbor, a U.S. congressional report has delivered high anxiety to its lawmakers with its eureka moment that the world's longest undefended border has only 50 kms that are actually defended.

Suddenly this is news?

And, as usual, there are people in high authority who are needlessly flipping out.

Like Sen. Joe Lieberman, chairman of the powerful U.S. homeland security committee, for example, and a war hawk who is mercifully not seeking a fifth term in office.

He called the congressional report "absolutely alarming." And he's from Connecticut -- not exactly a million miles from the Canada-U.S. border.

There is no question Lieberman loves hyperbole, as in his statement that "there are more Islamist extremist groups in Canada than in Mexico." What next from Lieberman? That Osama bin Laden's hiding behind a hoodoo in Drumheller?

And then there is Republican Sen. Susan Collins. And she's from Maine, for crying out loud.

Her wild-eyed contribution to the hysteria was to state terrorists wanting to enter the U.S. would go for the "weak link," and would therefore enter the States via Canada rather than Mexico.

Much of this comes from the still widely-held view by too many Americans that the 9/11 hijackers -- all Saudis -- entered the U.S. from Canada.

This is a crock, of course, but no sense letting the facts stand in the way of a good conspiracy theory, or to tell ordinary Americans that, believe it or not, there are also Canadian troops in Afghanistan helping them fight a common enemy.

American legislators like Lieberman and Collins are loose cannons who unfortunately have powerful positions on the homeland security committee.

Harper must be delicate in stating this fact.

But he must state it.

at least we dont have Joe Lieberman

and you have never heard anyone at all try to say that terrorists enter US soil through Canada??

are you living under a rock? please, allow me to inform you

"Unfortunately, misconceptions arise on something as fundamental as where the 9-11 terrorists came from," said Michael Wilson, Canada's ambassador in Washington. "As the 9-11 commission reported in 2004, all of the 9-11 terrorists arrived in the United States from outside North America. They flew to major U.S. airports. They entered the U.S. with documents issued by the United States government and no 9-11 terrorists came from Canada." Wilson, who was the keynote speaker at the Border Trade Alliance meeting in Washington on Tuesday, said Napolitano's staff attempted to tamp down the controversy by blaming the comments on a simple misunderstanding. "Her comment from her people is that she misunderstood," Wilson said, adding that he was planning a personal meeting with Napolitano in the near future. The furor began when Napolitano was asked to clarify statements she had made about equal treatment for the Mexican and Canadian borders, despite the fact that a flood of illegal immigrants and a massive drug war are two serious issues on the southern border. "Yes, Canada is not Mexico, it doesn't have a drug war going on, it didn't have 6,000 homicides that were drug-related last year," she said. "Nonetheless, to the extent that terrorists have come into our country or suspected or known terrorists have entered our country across a border, it's been across the Canadian border. There are real issues there." When asked if she was referring to the 9-11 terrorists, Napolitano added: "Not just those but others as well." However, Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan downplayed the comments and said that Napolitano is well aware that Canada was not the source of the 9-11 terrorists. "We spoke about it back in March, and we were sharing a chuckle at the fact that the urban myth does circulate," he told CTV's Power Play.

It is common knowledge, however, it is also claimed that terrorists enter into the US through Canada, which is false.

"the urban myth does circulate"

to make matters worse you have politicians going "Canada is a haven for Islamic Militants!" which is also a farce. We do however have many muslim canadians.
