Will Canada Stand or Run Away?
Al-Qaeda has threatened Canada to withdraw it's troops from Afghanistan or it will be the recipient of 9/11 type attacks (h/t LGF)
So I pose my question, will Canada stand up against this terrorist threat? Or will they run away like Spanish chickens? It used to be that you could consider Canadians as having the same strong western values and fortitude as Americans, but since the 90's I question this. I would love to see Canada thumb their noses at al-Qaeda and tell them to bugger off, but will they? I still have faith in Canada and believe that they will stand, because if I don't have this faith, then Canada is lost to me.

OTTAWA - An al-Qaeda strategist has warned Canada to withdraw its troops from Afghanistan or face terrorist attacks similar to 9/11, Madrid and the London transit bombings.
The threat, attributed to a member of the al-Qaeda information and strategy committee, condemns Prime Minister Stephen Harper for refusing to pull out of Afghanistan.
It also refers to Canada's "fanatic adherence to Christianity" as well as its purported attempts to "damage the Muslims" and its support for the "Christian Crusade" against al-Qaeda.
"Despite the strong, increasing opposition to spread its forces in the fire of South Afghanistan, it seems that they will not learn the lesson easily," Hossam Abdul Raouf writes.
"They will either be forced to withdraw their forces or face an operation similar to New York, Madrid, London and their sisters, with the help of Allah."
