Yes, our fault. Completely. So sorry.

WASHINGTON - Canada is "a favoured destination" for terrorists and organized crime groups because of lax law enforcement, proximity to the United States and a generous social welfare system, a U.S. report says.
- 'terror groups flourish in canada: u.s. report'; cbc news online; monday, february 16

The article points out that the report relies on media reports and public documents. It only cites two examples of terror activity in Canada. The report pinpoints Canada's concern with civil liberties as being one of the main problems.

I'd love to see the U.S. government doing a similar report looking at why they're so hated around the world. It'd never happen. But it'd be great to see.
