As it turns out, Canada is the perfect incubator for fledgling terrorists from all over the world.

Early in 2003, Canada joined in the international effort to provide humanitarian and reconstruction assistance to Iraq with a total commitment of up to $300 million. Canada is helping with the reconstruction of Iraq's damaged socio-economic infrastructure, placing a priority on ensuring that Iraqis have access to basic education, good primary health care, clean water and sanitation. Reinstating these basic social services will provide an essential foundation for Iraq's development and a return to normalcy for the Iraqi people. Consistent with our commitment to reconstruction efforts, Canada made a significant early contribution to UNICEF for its work in Iraq on water and sanitation, reduction of maternal and infant mortality, child protection, and enhanced basic education.
In addition to our $300-million contribution, Canada supports a G7-led international debt-reduction program for Iraq. Iraq's debt to Canada stands at approximately C$750 million, owed entirely to the Canadian Wheat Board.
The challenges of post-conflict stabilization in Iraq have demonstrated how crucial security is for any reconstruction effort. At the same time, building participatory and accountable democratic institutions is fundamental for long-term stability in Iraq. Canada will support governance and security sector reform, and is prepared to make available its expertise to help build Iraqi capacity in these areas. As an initial step, Canada sent Canadian police trainers to Jordan to help train Iraqi police recruits, and a senior Canadian RCMP officer went to Baghdad to help develop strategies to strengthen the police sector. In the new political environment emerging in the Middle East as a result of changes in Iraq, Canada also intends to work with neighbouring countries to advance democratic development in the region.

Perhaps an exaggeration, but certainly not a wrong one! Canada has no commitment in Iraq
has a terribly underfunded military.

And as for lack of help after 9-11, perhaps I should direct you to the total stangers that I invited into my home so that they would have a place to sleep instead of on the airport floor. They very much appreciate the assistance we gave during the US's time of need, and don't begrudge us the right to make our own decisions.

Let me understand this: There were no terrorists BEFORE 2003? There were no terrorists before Bush was elected?
Dont make blanket statements blaming Bush for the worlds terrorists. Are his actions creating new ones? Of course. But Bush, or the USA, did not invent terrorists or terrorism. As much as you haters would like to think so.

I never said Canada didn't help there...of course Canadians' hospitality during that time was fantastic! But is Canada a "Terrorist Utopia"? I think so...especially with the lax immigration and refugee laws and policies you have.
