OTTAWA (CP) - Canada has been branded a "favored destination for terrorists and international criminals" by the research arm of the U.S. Congress.

The report notes the recent co-operation between Canadian and U.S. officials in fighting terrorism. It also acknowledges Canadian steps to toughen anti-terrorism and immigration laws, but casts doubt on whether they go far enough, saying Canada's "liberal democratic identity" may limit adoption of sterner measures.

"A generous social-welfare system, lax immigration laws, infrequent prosecutions, light sentencing, and long borders and coastlines offer many points and methods of entry that facilitate movement to and from various countries, particularly to the United States," the report says.

To be honest, I do find it insulting that the U.S. Congress is trying to put the blame on us for the terrorism that goes on in the USA.

Here's an example of how I feel about this...

I am a man who live in a nice house in a friendly neighbourhood. My house is equipped with such advanced security system.

One day, a person broke into the house next door, and cleaned the whole house totaling the theft amount at $15,000.

My neighbour comes to my door the next day and asked me why I didn't share my security system with him which could had prevented the theft.

What I would say is, it's not my problem that you are too cheap to protect your precious house!

The point is, I do not want the USA giving us their requirements on the security system that does not belong to them. It is their responsibility to protect their country, not ours.

Of course, we may be an ally, but they cannot expect us to keep an eye out for them because we have our Canadian citizens to take care of.
 
Oh....I didn't know you are canadian *nervous chuckle*

Well, I didn't say they are blaming the citizens, but it is inexcusable of them to point fingers at the Canadian government when it was something they could had prevented.

Yes, 9/11 was preventable, but due to the lax security at the airports, it wasn't prevented.
 
welll, Reason their concerns about issues "the lack of security" but isn't being be blamed on us. No..
Due High percentage of immgirations who lives in USA that reason, There has not made done investgation properly processing before comes the worst.

Canada's system really kept low caution and make sure investgation and to finds anything terroists. Canada's gov't felt that "greater dangerous by terrorist on loose somewhere" Might be doing it again near the future. That what, their are big concern about it..

My understanding that Canada's gov't felt that usa being blamed but otherwise there have not enough security under immgirations issues the past from 9/11.

Cricket, There's no such thing being blamed on Canadian.. Did caused happend being responbile for 9/11 which greater comes from immgiration by under usa welcomed open the door.. Do not forget that.. Key is major problem.

Canadian are willing do anything but still greater concern about issues "terrorists are on loose somewhere in usa and canada too" They really want to be found terrorist and must "be stopped" before happending.
 
:wtf: I do not agree with the idea of creating a report like this, trying to rate which countries are safe havens for terrorists. It is our responsibility to safeguard our citizens here right in this country, and we should not police the world. We already have enough problems at home as it is.

I agree with you there and I think it is kind of pointless to blame the Canadian government for that sitauation, but even though Canada and the US are two separate countries, and the terrorist trying to attack the US is OUR business and should've installed high-tech securities before it happened, so of course, the REAL blame shoudl go to the US congress and President Bush, for not doing such a good job on the ecomony and should've installed high tech securities and get more police/FBI/SWAT, etc more involved in airports more often...so I dont think there's really any reason for Canda to be blamed because it's your country...not ours so the US government should be MORE responsible for that attack.
 
i'm wondering is U.S.A. worried about other countries because they can enter america easier? :???:
 
The reason why that some US or other country while live in US soil try to escape into Canada.

American takes wrong turn, hits Canadian border carrying hand grenade
SURREY, B.C. (CP) - A lost American with a grenade in her glove box closed one of the busiest U.S.-Canada border crossings for almost an hour Monday.

Police say a woman arrived at the Peace Arch crossing near Blaine, Wash., south of Vancouver, thinking she was headed for Vancouver, Wash. When Canada Customs officials searched her vehicle they found a hand grenade in the glove compartment. The border was closed for almost an hour while an RCMP explosives-disposal unit gingerly removed the weapon.

RCMP spokesman Const. Tim Shields said the 28-year-old woman was following signs to drive to Vancouver, Wash., which is across the Columbia River from Oregon.
