New poll says most Canadians blame U.S. for 9/11 attacks

Yes.

[MikeA]

Another place I can add to my list of countries I will never again visit. And trust me, that's no big loss. I can't say as I've ever enjoyed a trip to Canada, with the sole exception being maybe the kitschy Niagra Falls.

I have to wonder how many Saskatchewan farmers or Alberta oil drillers were asked. Let's not forget that Canada has perfected the art of omission in the fields of elections and polling.

Exactly. Thank you.

[fanfan]

Take back all those Vietnam draft dodgers, and we can talk.

[Idaho Whacko]

Hmm, where are those posters that attacked me a week or so ago when I said many Americans despise Canadians? Perhaps we have good reason to.

[fanfan]

Who really cares what Canadiens think, after all aren't a lot of them French.

6 Million out of 32 Million.

BTW, it's Canadians, not Canadiens.

:-)

My husband and son use to vacation together in Toronto. They haven't been back since 9/11.

[fanfan]

Will Canadians blame themselves when they are attacked?

The Canadian left will, just as your left does now.

[fanfan]

I'm here Whacko.

Perhaps we have good reason to.

Maybe. But a poll reported by the Canadian MSM is not one of them.

[cripplecreek]

I've got lots of Canadian friends who are quite conservative. Most of them I met over the years at Michigan International Speedway.

F' the polls, the CBC and the sheeple who react to them. From the article...

"When participants were given the option of choosing more than one cause for the attacks, two-thirds blamed Islamic fundamentalists and their anti-Western views, while a third pointed the finger at Israel and its position in the Middle East"

[ladyjane]

The Iraq War, started in 2003, obviously prompted the attacks on 9/11/2001.

I was at a social event where someone kept saying that 9/11 happened because we invaded Iraq. When some others shook their head in agreement I had to remind them of the sequence of events. A long silence followed.

Go ahead and keep on bitchin, Quebec, while you enjoy the U.S. umbrella of protection that extends over all of Canada and protects your sorry asses from the same external enemies that would kill all of you just as quickly as they would us.

FYI - 9/11 was a declaration of war against the ENTIRE West, not just America.

Bunch of ungrateful ingrates.

[TYVets]

They haven't been back since 9/11.

I use to hunt and fish in Canada, haven't been back since 9/11.

[Ronaldus Magnus Reagan]

Canada's foreign policy must be really bad as well. Just recently there was a terror plot to blow up Parliament and cut off the head of the Prime Minister. Do Canadiens suffer from mass amnesia?

[Wallace T.]

Don't forget that the terrorists that hijacked the planes at Logan Airport in Boston entered the country from Canada, using a ferry connecting Nova Scotia with Maine. Prior to 9-11, U.S. - Canadian crossings were not checked too well by the Border Patrol. In their defense, the Canadian military has performed well against the terrorists in Afghanistan.

"What is the matter with the world? Why are they abandoning and isolating us? "

Take a deep breath. Now think about it, where does much of this "information" about the world hating America come from? The MSM?
The DNC/MSM would like you to believe the whole world hates us, and that America is always wrong, (as long as a republican is president).
Besides, I don't give a rat's behind who likes us... let's just do what's right.

[himno hero]

and if the poll was in bagdad, they would probably bat 75%
