This report astounds me. I know many Canadians take a dim view of US cultural influence as well as US policy, but it must be sheer animosity towards America that 77 percent of Quebecers and 57 percent of Ontarians would blame the United States and not Islamic extremism for the most deadly attacks on American soil.
It is not US policy, domestic or foreign, that is responsible for terrorism. It may upset fundamentalist Muslims that we favor a religious tolerance that their brand of Islam forbids, but it is they who are entirely responsible for terrorist attacks, whether here in the United States, in Toronto, London, Madrid, Bali, Jerusalem, or Baghdad. It is high time for Westerners to stop blaming themselves for a problem rooted in the religious hatred of extremist Islam.
I am tempted to quote the South Park movie regarding Canada, but shall refrain from doing so in the interest of keeping my site free from profanity.
