The Canadian Security Intelligence Service disagrees with you.

"With the possible exception of the United States, there are more international terrorist organizations active in Canada than anywhere in the world. This situation can be attributed to Canada?s proximity to the United States which currently is the principal target of terrorist groups operating internationally; and to the fact that Canada, a country built upon immigration, represents a microcosm of the world. It is therefore not surprising that the world?s extremist elements are represented here, along with peace-loving citizens. Terrorist groups are present here whose origins lie in regional, ethnic and nationalist conflicts, including the Israeli-Palestinian one, as well as those in Egypt, Algeria, Sudan, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Northern Ireland, the Punjab, Sri Lanka, Turkey and the former Yugoslavia.

By way of example, the following terrorist or front groups acting on their behalf have or had supporters in Canada: Hizballah and other Shiite Islamic terrorist organizations; Hamas; the Egyptian Al Jihad and various other Sunni Islamic extremist groups from across the Middle East and Maghreb; the Provisional Irish Republican Army (PIRA), the Tamil Tigers (LTTE), the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK), and all the world?s major Sikh terrorist groups. Some supporters of the international Islamic Jihad cause are also present in Canada, with a few of them possibly linked to Al Qaida."

"Terrorism in Canada can be divided into roughly four categories: religious extremism, with various Sunni Islamic groups being the most serious threat at present; state-sponsored terrorism; secessionist violence, which encompasses Sikh extremism, and separatist movements in Sri Lanka, Turkey, Ireland and the Middle East; and domestic extremism, including some anti-abortion, animal rights, anti-globalization and environmental groups, a small but receptive audience for militia messages emanating from the United States, and white supremacists.

The bombings, kidnappings and subsequent murder of Quebec Cabinet Minister Pierre Laporte by the Front de libération du Québec (FLQ) in the late 1960s and early 1970s represent the most violent period of domestic terrorism in Canada. However, during the 1980s, Canada was subject to a spillover of violence from conflicts abroad when Armenian and Sikh extremist groups carried out several terrorist operations on Canadian territory. A domestic left-wing extremist group (Direct Action) was implicated in a number of bombings in the early 1980s, but the perpetrators were arrested and sentenced to lengthy jail sentences, effectively ending the group?s existence. As well, the bombing of an Air India flight from Toronto in 1985, an act blamed on Sikh terrorists fighting for an independent homeland in India, resulted in 329 deaths. Most victims were Canadian."

People that think their country is immune to terrorism are really annoying. The ignorance associated with thinking terrorism only exists now, or because of the United States, really need to educate themselves. Every country on this planet has has terrorist acts commited on their soil. EVERY ONE.

I don't agree with the way our current administration is handling things. I don't support their actions. I'm also not ignorant to the truth that terrorism has always existed, and will continue to exist, becuase there are people full of hate that want to be noticed for the evil things they do in the name of their cause. It's always been like that, it will always be like this.
