Will the next Al-Qaeda attack come fom Canada?

Remember Al-Qaeda likes to repeat attacks that didn't quite work. The World Trade Center was attacked years before 911. How long has it been since our boarder patrol foiled an Al-Qaeda plot to blow up LA airport? Importantly, the plot was foiled by alert boarder patrol guards and not due to any intelligence or tip off.

I recently posted about Vancouver police chief Jamie Graham's concerns here. Where he said, among other scary things, "I do not have a lot of dedicated police officers in Vancouver that get up every day and go to bed at night worried about the terrorist threat to Vancouver," Graham said.

Oh well, that's only Vancouver anyway. Or is it?

I wonder how things are doing over in Toronto? Let's see what Toronto's chief of police has to say. From National Post

Toronto Police Chief Julian Fantino said yesterday his officers lack the training and resources to adequately respond to a terrorist attack in the city.

He told the National Post editorial board the city is vulnerable to attacks because the provincial and federal governments have failed to provide adequate funding.

"The first line of defense against terrorism is local law enforcement. And yet, the federal government have looked after federal agencies, the provincial government have looked after provincial agencies, and we're left with nothing. We've got no help at all," Chief Fantino said, adding, "We are the people who should have the best training, the best resources and yet we're basically left to our own devices. We'd be reliant on someone else to bail us out."

What are the odds Al-Qaeda reads this stuff?

So there you have it; from Vancouver where they are not "worried about the terrorist threat to Vancouver" to Toronto where they would be "reliant on someone else to bail us out."

Er, so guys, we just across the boarder are worried about an attack from Vancouver and Toronto, would that "someone else to bail us out" be someone from Buffalo?
