There's still a lot of Americans who think that those who perpetrated the attacks on 9/11 came from Canada, which is absolutely and totally incorrect.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was in school, all our history books were American, so we learned American history, not Canadian history.
Although most Americans don't know it, the U.S. gets more oil from Canada than it does from the entire Middle East.
I came to America from Canada because Canada is stultifyingly boring and incredibly hypocritical.
There is a whole school of Canadian academics, media personalities, and politicians whose definition of a Canadian is a North American who fears or dislikes the United States.
It is no coincidence that our country has not been attacked since 9-11. Our initiatives to protect the homeland and aggressively take the fight to the terrorists have been factors in that success.
I grew up in kind of the last generation of Canadians who thought things that were happening in Britain were more important, almost, than what was happening in Canada. And my mother was fervently of that opinion.
Let me say what I actually believe. I believe that 9/11 was a conspiracy, by Al Qaeda, and Osama Bin Laden, and no one else trying to hurt America.
In 1628 came the first English attack on Canada.
Before the Civil War, Canada was at the top of the underground railroad. If you made it into Canada, you were safe unless someone came and hauled you back. That was also true during the Vietnam War for draft resisters.
The United States was attacked on 9/11/12, and we know who attacked us.
