That's very disappointing. I hope the freakin' terrorists don't attack us. What the hell will our Prime Minister do then? I hope he's good at begging. Lola:)

In Ottawa on Friday, September 14, 2001, 85,000 Canadians paid their respects to the victims of the terrorists in Canada's National Day of Mourning. Here is the text of Prime Minister Chretien's speech. In it he told the crowd that Canadians will be with the United States every step of the way. As friends. As neighbours As family. Address by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien on the occasion of the National Day of Mourning in Canada in memory of the victims of the terrorist attacks in the United States September 14, 2001 Ottawa, Ontario Mr. Ambassador. You have assembled before you, here on Parliament Hill and right across Canada, a people united in outrage, in grief, in compassion, and in resolve. A people of every faith and nationality to be found on earth. A people who, as a result of the atrocity committed against the United States on September 11, 2001, feel not only like neighbours. But like family. At a time like this, words fail us. We reel before the blunt and terrible reality of the evil we have just witnessed. We cannot stop the tears of grief. We cannot bring back lost wives and husbands. Sons and daughters. American citizens, Canadian citizens, citizens from all over the world. We cannot restore futures that have been cut terribly short. At a time like this, the only saving grace is our common humanity and decency. At a time like this, it is our feelings, our prayers and our actions that count. By their outpouring of concern, sympathy and help, the feelings and actions of Canadians have been clear. And, even as we grieve our own losses, the message they send to the American people is equally clear. Do not despair. You are not alone. We are with you. The whole world is with you. The great Martin Luther King, in describing times of trial and tribulation, once said that: "In the end, it is not the words of your enemies that you remember, it is the silence of your friends." Mr. Ambassador, as your fellow Americans grieve and rebuild, there will be no silence from Canada. Our friendship has no limit. Generation after generation, we have travelled many difficult miles together. Side by side, we have lived through many dark times. Always firm in our shared resolve to vanquish any threat to freedom and justice. And together, with our allies, we will defy and defeat the threat that terrorism poses to all civilized nations. Mr. Ambassador, we will be with the United States every step of the way. As friends. As neighbours As family. pm.gc.ca Americans might( innocently) take Canadians for granted, but let me assure you that Canadians never take Americans for granted. DT BTW between 75 and 100 Canadians also lost their lives at the WTC.

To what are you referring here, synchro - 'Yesterday, the parliament heard a motion that would have made my government and my country a source of strength for the US. However, this prime minister and his liberal party defeated the motion. ' Not this, i guess, because it's still in motion - 'OTTAWA (CP) - A new anti-terrorism law is on its way after last week's attacks in the U.S., says Justice Minister Anne McLellan, and the government may seek to revisit a Supreme Court case involving the deportation of suspected terrorists. New legal measures will "strike at the heart" of terrorist fundraising capabilities, McLellan said Wednesday. "Terrorism has a certain similarity to organized crime. What fuels it is money. And therefore what we have to do is strike at the ability of terrorist organizations to raise money." The federal government's first priority will be new legislation allowing it to implement a 1999 United Nations international convention to suppress terrorist financing, McLellan said. Canada has signed on to the convention, but has yet to ratify it by making it a crime for people to knowingly fund terrorism. [ed - how absurd, what are they doing, watching the clock for when their pension cheques roll in] A bill that would allow the government to strip charitable status from groups that fund terrorism is currently being studied by the all-party Commons finance committee. Whether that bill should be toughened, as critics have suggested, or blended into a broader anti-terrorism bill "is a decision that will be made in the days ahead," McLellan said.' ca.news.yahoo.com Military preparation, coordination - ca.news.yahoo.com ... the Coyotes have been useful in Bosnia, US forces asked for encores, apparently
